Description on this project

In July 2014, American Bridge was selected as general contractor for the new US-69 Missouri River
Bridge that is replacing a pair of existing through truss spans originally built in 1933 (southbound)
and 1957 (northbound). Spanning its namesake River outside of Kansas City, Missouri, the new
bridge was selected by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) for a design-build
procurement process. The project requirements included: a new bridge crossing with four 3.7m
lanes, a shared use path, meeting minimum clearances for railroad and navigation traffic and
other permitting requirements, improvements to two intersections, and maintaining traffic during
the bridge replacement.
