Hannibal Bridge
Bridge in Missouri
The First Hannibal Bridge was the first permanent rail crossing of the Missouri River[1] and helped establish the City of Kansas (renamed Kansas City, Missouri in 1889) as a major city and rail center. In its early days it was called the Kansas City Bridge.[2] It increased area train traffic, which contributed to the building of Union Depot, the predecessor to the Kansas City Union Station.[3] It was severely damaged by a tornado and replaced in virtually the same location by the Second Hannibal Bridge.
