Centennial Bridge, Road bridge across Missouri River in Leavenworth, United States
The Centennial Bridge features two main arch spans connecting Kansas and Missouri with a total length of 2,571 feet across the Missouri River.
The bridge opened in 1955 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Leavenworth, replacing an older structure that connected Fort Leavenworth to the penitentiary farm.
The bridge bears a memorial dedication to military service members, reflecting the strong connection between Leavenworth and Fort Leavenworth military community.
The structure serves as the only Missouri River crossing within 38 miles, carrying more than 14,300 vehicles daily between Leavenworth County and Platte County.
Initially operating as a toll bridge with fees of 15 cents per car, the bridge ceased collecting tolls in 1977 and transferred maintenance to Kansas Department of Transportation.
