Red Bridge
Quite an unusual bridge! Are there any others like this?
Red Bridge
This bridge is going to be bypassed in the next year or two due to realignment of Red bridge road. Since it actually sits in parkland, it was stated that the old bridge is going to be used for pedestrain and bicycle traffic. Jackson county has never considered demoslishing it, since the road itself is named after it, and it is a big Kansas City landmark.
