"Wow! Looks like this one has six towers! It's probably more towers than any other cantilever truss in the US. Very Spectacular Bridge!" [Tom Hoffman comment in BridgeHunter]
The 4,619' (1.4km) long bridge has the longest span of 450' (137m). Because of the depth of the reservoir, the tallest pier is 190' (58m) tall. The suspended spans where the ones used in the original bridges that the state built across the Missouri River. "It is one of the largest inland bridges in the US" [JohnWeeks]
