Tom Bevill Lock and Dam on Tombigbee River and Snagboat Montgomery near Pickensville, AL

It is unusual to have a fixed spillway if a dam has gates.

Luis A. Davila (Lou), Oct 2017

I wonder why they open the gate that is closest to the lock. Normally, they try to keep the river current away from the barge traffic.

1881 Bridge

This 190' (58m) long bridge is a pin-connected Whipple truss and was built in 1881. [HistoricBridges]

1857 Bridge

When I noticed the handrails on the replacement bridge, I noticed it was also historic.

Both Bridges

It appears the 1957 bridge is a shallow-arch concrete bridge.

[There was a better view of both bridges, but Facebook Reels don't let you backup, and I didn't want to set through the video a third time.]

US-66 Overview

The 1936 truss has already been replaced, but, for now, the 1957 bridge still has trusses.

Street View, Mar 2023

The three long spans are K-trusses.

[The truss in the background is a former-Frisco Bridge.]

The river is now named Verdigris River because Bird Creek was moved.

Most of the spans in the 1936 bridge spans were reused (list from ArchivedBridgeHunter_1936):

• Molly's Landing Bridge #1 - Section of Old US 66 Bird Creek Bridge (WB) [Satellite]
• Molly's Landing Bridge #2 - Section of Old US 66 Bird Creek Bridge (WB) [Satellite]
• Rogers Landing Public Use Area Bridge #1 - Bird Creek Old US 66 Bridge (WB) [Satellite]
• Rogers Landing Public Use Area Bridge #2 - Bird Creek Old US 66 Bridge (WB) [Satellite]

The old trusses appear to be big lawn ornaments.  But that makes it even easier to study how old trusses were built. Newer views show that this area has been landscaped. I went with this rather desolate view because you can see the 1957 bridge on the right side. If you look through the long span, you can see part of a short span.

Street View, Mar 2016

I found this better view. Not only can you see the shorter truss on the right, the "Ks" in the longer truss are very evident.

Street View, Jul 2024

Rogers Landing appears to contain the remaining two long trusses.

Street View, Aug 2011

Actually, the above seems to be a temporary location while they built the new bridge in 2011. This is the final resting place.

Mike Roquemore commented on the above
I by chance went there the weekend before construction was set to start.

Bridges & Tunnels posted five photos with the comment:

Traveling old U.S. Route 66 through Oklahoma reveals more than neon signs and roadside attractions; it also tells the story of the bridges that carried generations of travelers west. Near Catoosa, the H. Tom Kight Jr. Bridges once spanned the original channel of the Verdigris River, now known as Bird Creek.

Suspension, Railroad and Big Eddy Bridges over Columbia River at Revelstoke, BC

Suspension: (Historic Bridges; Satellite)

CP Railroad: (no Historic Bridges; Satellite)

Obviously, the suspension bridge is in the foreground. Big Eddy is the truss bridge in the middle of the view. The steel girder bridge is a railroad bridge.

Drone View, Jul 2024

Unfortunately, the railroad bridge does not allow me to get street views of the bridges from the other bridge because it is in the way.

Is the barge near the lower-left corner being used for repairs?

In addition to a souvenir shop onboard, their webpage has stuff.

I learned about this ship from this video. It has several scenes from different angles.

I don't think much about a bucket list; but if I did, Glasgow would be on it. I presume England's narrowboat canal system connects with Glasgow.
