Williamsville Bridge over the Black River.  Williamsville,  Missouri.  Original in comments.
Ken Huett: It sure looked a lot better back then. One of my family either uncle or someone fell through bridge with a log truck or dump truck. Not all way through. Just one axle. Probably needed a change of pants after. I jumped from bridge into river as a teen. Had to swim out to lower side. A ways down stream. Only did it once cause my dad said he did it.

All of the color photos of the truss had bad resolution. In this B&W photo, we can see the shadow of the truss.
