Grand Glaize Bridge, Road bridge at Osage Beach, United States
Description
The Grand Glaize Bridge is a road bridge that spans the Lake of the Ozarks, connecting two sections of Osage Beach along U.S. Route 54 in Missouri. The structure includes multiple lanes for through traffic and provides access to recreational areas around the lake.
History
The original bridge was built in 1931 during the Bagnell Dam project and served the community until being replaced in 1995. This replacement improved traffic flow for a growing recreational region.
Culture
This bridge marks a significant point in Missouri infrastructure development, representing the growth of transportation networks in the Ozarks region.
Practical
Traffic on the bridge is typically heaviest during weekends and recreational seasons when visitors head to the lake. Drivers should expect busier conditions during peak times.
Did you know?
The original structure featured an innovative design with support systems positioned below the deck rather than above, which provided unobstructed views of the lake. This unusual arrangement earned it the nickname 'Upside-Down Bridge' among locals and engineers.
