South Omaha Bridge
Posted June 9, 2009, by Photographer

Yea, that is down below the Nebraska approach. I went to Manden park to take some shots of the main approach but the overgrowth was so bad you couldn't see the river. I couldn't find any other places that spoke to me about the bridge, since I'm not a bridge person really. So sorry, no main span pictures. However, I did get an awesome shot of the Bellevue Toll Bridge! the rest of my day on the river photo shoot don't really apply to this site, unless people wan't pictures of the casino. :o)

I have driven over this bridge a few times. The main span is a Cantilever through truss. The bridge has long deck truss approaches which are shown in the pictures. I believe that the pictures below were taken on the Nebraska side of the river.

That looks like a deck truss rather than a through truss.
