Harry S. Truman Bridge, Railway bridge in Kansas City, Missouri.

The Harry S. Truman Bridge connects Jackson County and Clay County with a main span measuring 427 feet across the Missouri River.

Constructed in 1945 for 3 million dollars, the bridge supported domestic production efforts during a period when steel supplies were limited.

The bridge honors the 33rd President of the United States, Harry S. Truman, who was native to Jackson County, Missouri.

The structure carries freight trains from Canadian Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads, supporting continuous cargo movement across the Missouri River.

The metal rivet-connected polygonal Warren through-truss design required 4,568 tons of steel and 120,000 hours of labor to complete.
