Located on the southeast side of Kansas City, this large through girder bridge crosses Noland Road (Route V).
Built in 1946, the bridge consists of a two heavily skewed through plate girder spans, approached by concrete slabs on either side. The entire bridge sits on concrete substructures.
Because these types of bridges were cheap and easy to build, many exist on almost every railroad in America. It is believed that this bridge was built as MP upgraded tracks in the area.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
