Sibley Railroad Bridge, Railroad bridge in Sibley, Missouri, United States.
The Sibley Railroad Bridge is a railway bridge that crosses the Missouri River and connects Jackson County to Ray County. It features three through truss spans designed to handle continuous rail traffic.
The bridge was built in 1915 by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, replacing an earlier structure from 1888. It was part of efforts to establish a major rail link between the West and Midwest.
The bridge represents a critical transportation link between Southern California and Chicago, maintaining its role in the national rail network for over a century.
The bridge is used daily by various trains, including freight and passenger services. Visitors can view it from the Missouri River banks or photograph it from nearby road overheads.
The structure reuses stone piers from the original 1888 construction and combines them with 20th century steel spans. This mixing of old and new engineering shows how the original foundation was incorporated into the rebuilt bridge.
