Fairfax Bridge, Steel truss bridge at Missouri-Kansas border
The Fairfax Bridge spans 2,486 feet across the Missouri River, connecting the cities of Riverside in Missouri and Fairfax in Kansas with 13 spans.
The Kansas City Bridge Company constructed this transportation link in 1934 at a cost of $600,000, marking a major advancement in regional infrastructure.
The bridge represents the industrial development of the Kansas City region, serving as a connection point between two states across the Missouri River.
The structure maintained southbound traffic flow on US Route 69 until 2014, when it closed for replacement due to structural considerations.
Engineering specifications included 15 support piers and a maximum span length of 465 feet, demonstrating advanced construction methods of the 1930s.
