Republican River Bridge
Posted May 13, 2007, by Robert L. Elder (Bass-tbn [at] ku [dot] edu)

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.
