At the time of its opening in 1954, the Paseo Bridge was the longest self-anchor suspension bridge ever constructed worldwide.
It held this title until 1959.
No, the new bridge will be a cable-stayed bridge.
with six lanes of traffic.
The current MAY be used as a bike trail, but with the new light-rail KC wants to build, it may be used for that.
but, for light-rail, the A.S.B. Bridge is being looked for that.
Or, the Heart of America bridge.
But, with new info in, it looks like the Paseo Bridge might be torn down at the end of 2011.
But I hope they can find another use for it..............
well so you are saying the old bridge will only be used for bikes or walking and they are going to build a new bridge and the new bridge is going to look like the old bridge but a little bit diffrent.
This bridge, will be replaced by another bridge in 2011.
From what I have heard, the new bridge will be built about 150-200 feet east of the current bridge.
It already has a name, it will be called the
Chris S. Bond bridge.
I want to know why they just don't leave the current name.
And, someone said that the current bridge will not be destroyed.
But I can not be sure about that.
If they leave it there after the replacement bridge is built,someone may get hurt on it, as the state will no longer inspect it.
But, the state might turn it into a bicycle or walking bridge.
But anyway, it will be replaced.
Work to start on the new bridge is supposed to start in 2010.
I will watch out for it.

This bridge was resurfaced and repainted in late 2005 to mid 2006
The last time I crossed this bridge was at night, in the rain and sleet, in the winter on a 350 cc motorcycle. As I recall, the deck was of steel grating and really treacherous. Of course, under those circumstances, it's no wonder. I was crossing the country on the bike in the winter of 1968. I don't recommend it.
I remember this bridge as a young man my first job was in north kc. and the bridge had a toll 20 cents one way and 10cents back.
I am remember Paseo Bridge over Missouri River. It was pay toll bridges. it was old bridge. it is good bridge. THANK YOU.
