Route 66 Crossings: Historic Bridges of the Mother RoadRoute 66 is a beloved and much studied symbol of twentieth century America. But until now, no book has focused on the bridges that spanned the rivers, creeks, arroyos, and railroads between Chicago and Santa Monica. In this handsome volume, Route 66 authority and veteran writer and photographer Jim Ross examines the origins and history of the bridges of America's most famous highway, structures designed to overcome obstacles to travel, many of them


Route 66 is a beloved and much studied symbol of twentieth-century America. But until now, no book has focused on the bridges that spanned the rivers, creeks, arroyos, and railroads between Chicago and Santa Monica. In this handsome volume, Route 66 authority and veteran writer and photographer Jim Ross examines the origins and history of the bridges of America's most famous highway, structures designed to overcome obstacles to travel, many of them engineered with architectural aesthetics now lost to time.

Featuring hundreds of Ross's own photographs, Route 66 Crossings showcases bridges ranging in design from timber to steel and concrete, and provides schematics, maps, and global coordinates to help readers identify and locate them. Ross's comprehensive accounting of structures along the Mother Road's various alignments includes bridges still in use, those that have vanished or have been abandoned, and the few consciously preserved as monuments. He also recognizes ancillary structures that enhanced safety and helped facilitate traffic, such as railway grade separations, tunnels, and pedestrian underpasses.

Ross seeks to encourage ongoing preservation of the structures that remain. In brilliant color and precise detail, Route 66 Crossings expands our knowledge of the bridges that linked America's first all-weather national highway.

Is this the one for you? It was for me!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Okay so if you are like me and shop last minute before a major event then this is perfect. I went through pages and pages on here to find a bag that let's be honest here will only be used once and put away. So I decided on this one because of the style and color as it will go perfectly with my emerald green dress that I am wearing to my bestie's son's wedding literally next month. The size is perfect and the quality is on point. Yes the bag is a little stiff when opening for the first time but if you plan to use this constantly then it should be more pliable over time. This will hold what I intend to take with me which is just the basics so the functionality will be great and the fact that it travels well is another point for this evening bag. Big value for the money and easy to use. If you like it buy it, if not find one that suits your needs and style and budget. This is a keeper.
