This shows the asymmetry of the bridge. Not only is the east (right) pier on land, that side is higher than the west side.

Truman Dam

"Truman Reservoir is the largest flood control reservoir in Missouri, with a storage capacity of more than 5 million acre-feet (an acre-foot = 325,000 gal.). At normal pool (706 ft. above mean sea level) the reservoir has a surface area of about 55,600 acres – this surface area can grow to over 200,000 acres at the top of the flood control pool. During periods of flooding, Truman Reservoir, operating in conjunction with other reservoirs, helps protect the lower Osage, Missouri and Mississippi River floodplains. The Truman Power Plant has six turbine generators and a rated capacity of 160,000 kilowatts. This electrical energy is used to meet peak electrical demands when conventional power plants cannot fulfill the public’s demand for electricity. Power plant operators are on duty around the clock to control the flow of water through Truman Dam. Additionally, the power plants located at Stockton and Mark Twain lakes are remotely controlled from Truman Dam." [USACE_lake]

Truman Dam near Warsaw, Mo., for more than a week at 50,000 cubic feet per second. The photo was taken on May 9, 2017 during the rapid release of water from spring rains."

| clui, CLUI photo The Army Corps of Engineers built this flood control dam and reservoir on the Osage River, starting in 1964. It took 15 years to complete, mostly due to the extensive removal and relocating of people, towns, roads and bridges over the 56,000 acre reservoir area. The dam was complete in 1979, and its powerhouse used six reversible turbines to generate 160 megawatts of power and to pump water back through the dam from its afterbay. The afterbay is an arm of the similarly sized but massively redeveloped Lake of the Ozarks, also formed by a dam on the Osage River. This pump-back function was not engaged for years, due to environmental and technical problems that have impeded its use. |
