Glasgow Bridge, Missouri

The Glasgow Bridge was five-span through truss bridge over the Missouri River on Route 240 between Howard County, Missouri and Saline County, Missouri at Glasgow, Missouri.

It was built in 1878-79 and rehabilitated in 1986. Its main span was 343.7 feet and its total length was 2,243.5 feet. It had a deck width of 20.3 feet and vertical clearance of 14.8 feet. It was narrowed to a single lane in its final few years (with stoplights on either side) before being closed and replaced in 2008-09. The new bridge reopened in September 2009 and the project was completed in autumn of that year.
