Plattsmouth Bridge, Truss bridge across Missouri River between Nebraska and Iowa, United States
The Plattsmouth Bridge extends 1,682 feet across the Missouri River with seven spans, including a 402-foot cantilevered through truss over the navigable channel.
The bridge, constructed in 1929 by Omaha Structural Steel Works, replaced a ferry service and stands as the oldest highway bridge crossing the Missouri River in Iowa.
The National Register of Historic Places listed this structure in 1993, acknowledging its role in connecting communities and facilitating regional transportation development.
Motorists using the bridge pay a toll of $1.75, and the structure maintains a weight limit of 40,000 pounds following recent structural improvements.
The bridge transferred from private to public ownership in 2007 when the Plattsmouth Bridge Commission took control from the Plattsmouth Bridge Company.
