What did Buck Grove Bridge say? "I'm buck-ling under pressure.

El puente de Buck Grove

El Puente de Buck Grove se encuentra al sureste de Buck Grove, Iowa, Estados Unidos. Se extiende a Buck Creek por 70 pies (21 m). El acero estaba en suministro corto durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial como parte del esfuerzo de guerra. Muchos puentes construidos en todo el estado se construyeron en esta época con madera, especialmente puentes de pequeña escala. Las inundaciones pesadas borraron 27 puentes y culverts en el Condado de Crawford en mayo de 1945. El consejo del condado de supervisores utilizó fondos de emergencia para construir nuevos puentes. Compraron varias superestructuras de acero de la Compañía de Acero Des Moines para reemplazar las espinas de lavado. Las estructuras de arco-trussas de arco parecen haber sido diseñadas por H. Gene Mc

The Buck Grove Bridge is located southeast of Buck Grove, Iowa, United States. It spans Buck Creek for 70 feet (21 m).^[2] Steel was in short supply during World War II as a part of the war effort. Many bridges built across the state were built in this era with timber, especially small-scale bridges. Heavy flooding washed out 27 bridges and culverts in Crawford County in May 1945. The county board of supervisors used emergency funds to build new bridges. They bought several steel superstructures from the Des Moines Steel Company to replace the wash-out spans. The bowstring arch-truss structures appear to have been designed by H. Gene McKeown, a civil engineer from Council Bluffs. This bridge is one of several similar structures built in the county, and one of five that still remain. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.^[1]
