He explains, "It was taken from the dome of the Old State Capitol during the crest of flood stage of the flood of 1903. The view is looking Northwest into Callaway County toward Boone County. This Capitol Building burned to the ground in 1911 and was replaced by the current capitol building in 1913-1918." |

Evidently, the WabackMachine archived the entire video because, when I tried to access it directly on YouTube, I got a "not available" notice. I kept shoving the slider until I found a truss construction scene.

Randall Perkinson Photography posted seven photos with the comment:
Senator Roy Blunt BridgeUS-54 and US-63 over the Missouri RiverJefferson City, Missouri, USAThe Senator Roy Blunt Bridge is a pair of continuous arch truss bridges. The westbound bridge was designed by Sverdrup & Parcel in St. Louis, constructed by Stupp Brothers Bridge & Iron Company, and opened to traffic in 1955. It carried one lane in each direction plus a reversable lane in the center.Due to traffic growth, the eastbound bridge was opened in 1991 and though originally designed to carry 3 lanes of traffic, it has been striped to carry 4 lanes of traffic.In 2011 a new bicycle and pedestrian walkway was cantilevered off the downstream side of the eastbound bridge to connect Jefferson City with the Katy Trail.I hope you enjoy these images taken from various viewpoints.
