Heart of America Bridge, Road bridge in Kansas City, United States
The Heart of America Bridge extends across the Missouri River, connecting downtown Kansas City with North Kansas City through multiple traffic lanes.
The bridge opened in 1987 as a replacement for the vehicle lanes previously carried by the ASB railroad bridge in the Kansas City area.
The bridge structure integrates both vehicle and pedestrian paths, reflecting the evolving transportation needs of Kansas City's growing population.
A dedicated bicycle and pedestrian path, added in 2010 for over 2 million dollars, provides separate access for non-motorized transportation across the river.
The bridge offers direct views of Kansas City's downtown skyline while spanning above an extensive railroad yard on the northern bank.
