Description
A color view shows two large steel truss bridges spanning a broad river under a clear blue sky. The nearer bridge dominates the foreground with repeating arched spans and concrete piers, while a darker bridge runs lower across the water behind it. The scene is open and expansive, with low shoreline visible at the edges. undated

THE MISSOURI RIVER IN SOUTH DAKOTA
The Missouri River in South Dakota, was
spanned for the first time by the Chicago
and North Western Railway bridge at Pierre,
the state capital. Completed in 1907, the rail-
way bridge has a swing-span to permit navi-
gation. The nearby highway bridge was
opened to traffic in 1926, one of five toll-free
bridges across the wide Missouri, built by the
South Dakota Highway Department in the
early twenties. Roadway of the highway
bridge is 38 feet above maximum high water,
allowing clearance for navigation.
