Looks like a non-notable bridge. I don't think bridgehunter.com, the one source, is particularly reliable, so that doesn't help with notability. While there's some similar features with the bridge described here, I think that link is for a different structure, probably the Little Niangua Suspension Bridge, based on the differences in information. This is apparently a different bridge, as the subject of this article closed in 2003, while the news article linked is from 2019 and indicated the bridge is still in use. Again, This appears to be a different structure. I'm not convinced this passes WP:GNG or WP:NFEAT. I've been prodding a lot of these non-notable bridge stubs, but I'm less confident on this one, mostly because of all the search engine noise for the Little Niangua Suspension Bridge, which is apparently sometimes known as the Little Niangua Bridge.

  • Redirect to Lake of the Ozarks. I also struggled to find sources because of a bridge with a similar name. I only found WP:ROUTINE coverage of things that happened at the bridge, or a mention in passing. Fails WP:GNG and WP:GEOFEAT. However, per GEOFEAT information can be included in an article with more notability, which Lake of the Ozarks has. Since there are no sources on the page, the info can't be merged.

  • delete Something is seriously wrong here, because the Google car for some reason drove down someone's glorified driveway, where you can get a look at this thing and see quite clearly that it is no kind of truss or arch bridge, but is instead an ordinary girder bridge of the sort seen at nearly every highway overpass in the US. I seen no notability here; I'm not even convinced that it has a name. Mangoe (talk) 18:51, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as bridge cruft. Based on the bridgehunter photo, this seems like a big enough bridge to have something written about it, but somebody's got to come up with the WP:RS to show it meets WP:N. I'd be fine with moving to draft space to allow somebody to work on it, or even the redirect suggested above. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:49, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
