This bridge was built by the Burlington Northern Railroad and opened in 1982, spanning the Missouri River. It replaced an earlier bridge the Chicago & Northwestern had owned, which had fallen into disrepair. Since that bridge was torn down, the C&NW was granted trackage rights over this bridge, and Union Pacific still holds those today.
