I love this bridge! Probably my favorite in KC...when I was about 4 or so (mom read to me about bridges in the encyclopedia), we'd been on a family trip, and apparently I shouted out, "Mommy, Daddy, it's the vertical lift suspension bridge!!"
My aunt and grandma are still blinking at how I knew that, and rattled it off like I did.
Truly a feat of engineering and an epic landmark!
This old railroad bridge is fascinating. It was constructed from 1909 to 1911 and is one of two structures of it type in the United States. It has proven to be resilient and durable and has become a valued Historical Landmark in Kansas City. Go to riverfront Park and walk underneath it and be sure to stop and the group of concrete blocks on the Southwest side too read the information. A Must See in KC!!
It's an ugly bridge, but an impressive feat of engineering.
a very neat piece of History if you want to come down and have a look. You can see the old lift mechanism on the bridge, you walk right underneath it on the trail that's next to the river. The scenery alone is worth the trip. The way the bridge was constructed in the history behind it is really needs study if you have a chance to read all the signs that are around here.
Great historic landmark in Kansas City. Just be sure to stay clear of the tracks. Trains can be quiet and are not easily stopped....
Cool old bridge...
its magnificent
