Kansas River K-32 Bridge
It is sad the bridge is gone, but really, it did need to be replaced. It was always scary when I drove over it.
Every time you could hear the truss members grinding together and making loud noise.

Hello, this is a airplane view of the bridge 2/13/02, and the bridge is destroyed.
in the picture, there are two bridges, one concrete, one truss.
the truss bridge is next to the concrete bridge, laying in the Kansas River after being blow from the piers with dynamite.
this is the (from what i know) last picture of the bridge.

The thru-truss bridge has been demolished and replaced by (ugly) twin girder bridges.
