Description
A photo showing the Missouri River, train tracks, and Jefferson City Bridge. There's a group of birds that is taking off from the top of the bridge. It took this behind the Missouri State Capitol. The Jefferson City Bridge is the name for two continuous through arch truss bridges over the Missouri River at Jefferson City, Missouri, over which U.S. Route 54 and US 63 travel between Cole County, Missouri and Callaway County, Missouri. The southbound bridge opened in August 1955. Its main span is 195 meters (640 ft) and has a total length of 3,093 ft and a deck width of 38 ft and vertical clearance of 38 ft. The northbound bridge opened in 1991. Its main span is 595 ft with a total length of 3,124 ft. The deck width is 47 ft and it has vertical clearance of 16 ft. The Missouri River is the longest river in North America. Rising in the Rocky Mountains of western Montana, the Missouri flows east and south for 2,341 miles (3,767 km) before entering the Mississippi River north of St. Louis, Missouri. The river takes drainage from a sparsely populated, semi-arid watershed of more than half a million square miles (1,300,000 km2), which includes parts of 10 US states and 2 Canadian provinces. When combined with the lower Mississippi River, it forms the world's fourth longest river system. (some info from Wikipedia)
