The Blair Bridge or Abraham Lincoln Memorial Bridge carries U.S. Route 30 between the U.S. states of Nebraska and Iowa, across the Missouri River near Blair, Nebraska.[1] Rail traffic crosses via the parallel Blair Bridge (Union Pacific Railroad).
History
The first Blair Bridge opened to traffic in 1929. It was designed by Harrington, Howard, and Ash and Sverdrup & Parcel and constructed by Kansas City Bridge Company, Wisconsin Bridge & Iron Company, and Woods Brothers Construction Company. Originally a toll bridge, the tolls were removed in 1962.[2]
In 1991, a new structure replaced the original truss bridge.
