Washington Bridge, Highway bridge in Washington, Missouri.
The Washington Bridge carries Route 47 across the Missouri River with two 12-foot lanes and 10-foot shoulders between Franklin and Warren counties.
The original structure, built in 1934 by Stupp Brothers Bridge and Iron Company, featured a metal cantilever design with five spans and operated as a toll crossing until 1951.
Local residents attempted to preserve the former bridge for pedestrian use, reflecting the structure's importance to the communities on both sides of the Missouri River.
The current bridge, opened in 2018, includes dedicated pedestrian and bicycle paths, providing a safer crossing option for non-motorized travelers over the Missouri River.
The original bridge's five-span cantilever configuration differed from standard three-span designs, making it a notable example of 1930s engineering methods.
