The Eudora Kaw River Bridge is an automobile and pedestrian crossing of the Kansas River located just north of Eudora, Kansas. A girder bridge, it is the first bridge over the river for almost four miles, as the Highway 2 Bridge is far off to the east.
The bridge runs concurrent with Leavenworth County's County Road 1 and Douglas County's County Road 1061 and the city of Eudora is just south of the bridge.
The two lane bridge has a span of 1,360 feet[1] and was opened in 1965, built at a cost of $746,000.[2] [3] [4] [5] It was designed to be at least three feet higher than the levels reached in the Great Flood of 1951.[6]
Its predecessor bridge was damaged by ice in 1935 and reopened in 1937,[7] then damaged beyond use by ice in January 1962.[8]
