Chouteau Bridge, Road bridge in Kansas City, United States.

The Chouteau Bridge spans the Missouri River at Route 269, connecting Jackson County and Clay County with four traffic lanes crossing the water.

Built in 2002, this modern structure replaced the original 1887 Whipple truss bridge that served as the second bridge over the Missouri River near Kansas City.

The bridge carries the name of François Chouteau, the first permanent settler in Kansas City and a member of a prominent fur trading family.

The north end of the bridge provides direct access to Harrah's Casino in North Kansas City, while carrying Route 269 traffic across the Missouri River.

The previous bridge at this location received a reduction to a three-ton weight limit before its controlled demolition in 2001.
