Two miles west of Riverton is an old Route 66 crossing of Brush Creek, the Rainbow Marsh Bridge. (Two other Marsh Arch bridges of this type were built on Route 66 in Kansas, but those others are long gone.) It was built in 1923 and served an early 66 alignment, and the only restoration I've heard about is a new paint job to cover up a mess of accumulated graffiti. A replacement bridge was built nearby to handle modern day traffic, but I believe you can still drive over this bridge if you pull over to it and carefully negotiate your giant SUV across it. Just watch out for 66 sightseers and photographers on the narrow span. Log Book: 612 miles motored on old 66.
