South Omaha Veterans Memorial Bridge
South Omaha Veterans Memorial Bridge, Truss bridge across Missouri River in Omaha, United States
The South Omaha Veterans Memorial Bridge spans 4,300 feet with four 12-foot-wide lanes, connecting Nebraska to Iowa via U.S. Highway 275.
Built in 1935 by the Kansas City Bridge Company, the original structure featured two 525-foot continuous spans and received National Register of Historic Places status in 1992.
The bridge serves as a permanent memorial to military veterans, reflecting the community's dedication to honoring service members through infrastructure.
The current structure includes a 4-foot-wide raised median and a dedicated 10-foot-wide bike trail, accommodating various transportation needs.
The bridge's construction required a $2 million bond issue from Omaha in 1931, with additional funding from the Public Works Administration altering initial plans.
