From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hargrove Pivot Bridge, also known as Old Hargrove Bridge is a historic swing bridge located at Poplar Bluff, Butler County, Missouri in the United States. It crosses the Black River. It was built in 1917, and is 220 feet (67 m) long with a turning span of 100 feet (30 m). This bridge has a modified Wichert truss as its center span and a modified Warren pony truss extending on each side of the center truss. The bridge has not been turned since 1942 due to the lack of river traffic in the area.[2]: 2
