Republican River Bridge
Posted November 18, 2008, by Robert Elder (robertelder1 [at] gmail [dot] com)

The Morganville Bridge has been demolished and replaced by a UCEB. The road has been re-routed in the area.

This triple span brige consists of three 6 panel riveted Pratt through trusses. When I crossed this bridge in April of 2006, I noticed that some earthwork was being conducted around the bridge. This might indicate that the bridge is scheduled for replacement.
