The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy opened the bridge at Rulo during 1887, connecting the traffic hubs of Kansas City and Lincoln, Nebraska. The majority of the original bridge, including both of the 375' main spans, was replaced during July 1977. At present the bridge is heavily used by BNSF Railway for eastbound coal out of Wyoming. America's railroads built 32 crossings over the Missouri River, of which 23 remain in use.
