"Historic Route 66 only enters Kansas for a few miles, but in that short distance it is interesting to note that travelers are treated to the one historic bridge type that is so uniquely Kansas: no other state boasts as many surviving rainbow arch bridges (Marsh type or otherwise) as Kansas does. Indeed, this is the only rainbow arch bridge on the entirety of Historic Route 66." [HistoricBridges]

Given that the 1923 bridge is just one lane, I'm surprised they waited until 1992 to bypass it.

| 1 of 12 photos posted by Michael Rodgers Photography Double Rainbow over Rainbow Bridge on Kansas Route 66. Mike Rodgers shared John Weeks: Rainbow arch bridges are pretty rare to begin with, but seeing a rainbow at the same time seems like a one in a billion thing. Congrats on either good luck or fantastic planning! Mike Rodgers: John Weeks thank you it wasn't planned I was going to Galena Kansas for their city wide yard sale and there it was I had to pull over |
When I saw the "signature photo" for the town of Baxter Springs, I figured this town was on Route 66. This filling station is now a Route 66 Visitors Center.
