I am trying to identify a bridge that I took note of in the early 2000s. It looked a lot like this and was near this location, though I remember it as being more ornamental. The bridge had staircases inside its footings, to allow pedestrians to ascend from the street below to the road above.
Does this ring a bell for anyone? If you have information, please contact me wickedaxeguitars(at)yahoo.com Thank you!
I've been away from Kansas city for 10 years now, My husband did a painting of this bridge while we where going to school there. I'm sad to see that it's now gone...
It's back open now and has been for several months.
The 27th Street Viaduct is in the process of being replaced. Construction started during the 4Q of 2005. I'm not sure when it is scheduled to be completed.
I just realized that there is a gallery of pictures here. This bridge is absolutely the one I remember. What a shame.
