Miami Bridge, Concrete bridge in Miami, Missouri, United States
Miami Bridge is a concrete structure that crosses the Missouri River and connects Saline County and Carroll County along Route 41. The roadway serves vehicle traffic between communities on both sides of the river.
The bridge was built in 1939 to replace an older cantilever structure that previously spanned the river. Maintenance work in the 1980s kept the structure functional for continued use.
The bridge stands as a representation of mid-20th century engineering practices, demonstrating the transition from steel truss to concrete girder construction methods.
Visitors can access the bridge via Route 41 to travel between the riverbanks. The crossing is available during standard operating conditions.
The construction incorporated the original bridge's piers and supports into the new concrete design, blending historical foundations with modern engineering. This approach preserved elements from the earlier structure within the newer framework.
