Devil's Elbow Bridge on Route 66
Video from my trip to Arkansas taking most of Route 66. Part of the original Route 66 roadway, this bridge hides from the Interstate system and shows it's age. Advance apologies for shaky footage. This was before I bought my JVC Action Cam. :)

Roamin' Rich Revisits the Whee Bridge in Carthage on Missouri Route 66
I love this old bridge. Most of us route 66 roadies do. The bridge's existence has been threatened much of the last 2-3 years. The rail road wants it removed and replaced, and I think the fire department has objections to its designs as well. Get out there see this thing and don't go too fast (notice the scrape marks in the pavement).

Take Several Powerful Flash lights as the installed Lighting is Inoperable. The sound of the Rushing Water and water falls below is impressive.

Route 66 Road Trip, September 8, 2015 Day 13 - Four lane Route 66 & Devil's Elbow
Just north of St. Robert, MO the Two Old Buzzards found a stretch of four-lane Route 66, the Elbow Inn (at Devil's Elbow) and an old bridge. One of the most scenic drives on Route 66 includes a pristine four-lane section of the Mother Road that was built to carry traffic to and from Fort Leonard Wood during World War II.
The original twisting, narrow stretch of Route 66 through Devil’s Elbow was obviously not adequate for moving military men and equipment and the new four lane stretch was completed in 1943. Today, most of this old four-lane is still original and is in very good condition considering its age. Passing through the steep bluffs of the Big Piney River, the Hooker Cut was one of the deepest road cuts in the nation at the time of its construction.
Interestingly, the curbs along this stretch of road are inclined towards the roadway. This was a common building practice at the time, as it was believed that such a design would keep cars from going off the road. However, they soon found out that the curb design actually caused cars to overturn and was soon discontinued.
The Devil's Elbow is situated on the Big Piney River and was named for a particularly bad turn in the river known as a devil of an elbow.

The Devil’s Elbow | Owego, NY
West of Owego, old Route 17c rises to crest a large hill. For over two hundred years, this road has served as a vital artery of trade and travel. At the top of this hill, there was once a sharp curve in the road – known to locals as the Devil’s Elbow.
The Devil’s Elbow has been the site of a number of paranormal tales. From the time of horse drawn carriages to today, travelers along this highway have reported encounters with a phantom hitchhiker in white who seems to wander this section of road for eternity.
