Wabash Bridge, Railroad bridge over Mississippi River in Hannibal, United States.
The Wabash Bridge spans the Mississippi River with five truss sections and a vertical lift span measuring 409 feet in length.
Built in 1871 by the Wabash Railroad, the structure initially served both rail and vehicle traffic until the Mark Twain Memorial Bridge opened in 1936.
The bridge stands as a testament to American railway engineering, connecting the agricultural regions of Illinois with Missouri's transportation network.
Norfolk Southern Railway operates approximately eleven trains daily across the single-track bridge, maintaining regular freight service between states.
The vertical lift mechanism installed in 1994 originated from a bridge in Florence, Alabama, with installation completed in just three days.
