I noticed that this area is the type of wilderness that has nearby churches, but no nearby towns. Then I noticed that just downstream, the Little Niangua River becomes part of the shoreline of the Lake of the Ozarks. Thus the title identifies the location with a body of water rather than a town.
Missouri's Historic Highways posted four photos with the comment: "March 25, 1933 – The self-anchored suspension bridge carrying Route J over the Little Niangua River in Camden County was completed. The Green’s Mill Bridge was just the fourth such bridge built in the US. The bridge was slated for demolition but a non-profit organization has moved to take ownership and preserve the bridge in place."
Matt Gaddy: Actually, this is the first self-anchored bridge to use post tension cables the first 3 used steel plates that were pinned together
Al Sickmeier: Curious about what exactly "self anchoring" means?
John Bunyan: Al Sickmeier it means the main suspension cables are attached to the bridge deck instead of the river bank.
Steve Hires: They had one in Booneville mo over the Missouri River.
