Kansas City Southern Railroad Bridge, Cross Bayou


Kansas City Southern Railroad Bridge, Cross Bayou, in Shreveport, Louisiana, was built in 1890. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The bridge once carried the Kansas City Southern Railway across Cross Bayou (also known as Twelve Mile Bayou), parallel and about east of Spring Street's crossing. It is one of the only two remaining Waddell "A" Truss Bridge, designed by John Alexander Low Waddell. The bridge no longer carries rail traffic, and rail connections were removed prior to

the Great Depression. In 1935, the Huey P. Long Bridge was completed in neighboring Jefferson Parish about upriver from the city's business district. This bridge was constructed and financed jointly between the Louisiana Highway Commission and the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad primarily to accommodate railroad traffic, which up to that time was forced to cross the river by ferry between the rail yards at Avondale and Harahan. While it contained automobile lanes that benefited through traffic on US 90 through the area, the bridge's location made it inconvenient for local travel

. Smith Smith also owned three steam boats with which he transported cotton brought to Alexandria on the railroad to New Orleans. When completed, the line of railroad extended approximately between Alexandria, Louisiana and Bayou Hauffpaur near Cheneyville, Louisiana. The railroad transported sugar cane and cotton in connection with steamboats on the Red River. The railroad operated for over twenty years. It was destroyed in 1864 during the Red River Campaign of the American Civil War when Union soldiers used rails, cross ties, bridge timbers, and rolling stock from the

Orphan bridge


An orphan bridge is a roadway bridge that crosses over abandoned railroad rights-of-way and which is no longer owned or maintained by any railroad. Examples include the bridges that crossed over predecessor railroads that were conveyed into Conrail in 1976. At the time, Conrail argued in U.S. court that these overhead bridges were not part of the rail rights-of-way that were conveyed to it at the time of the merger. As the railroads that initially built the bridges and maintained them no longer existed, it was argued

Louisiana until the 1950s. Interstates 10, 210, 55, and 49 now play the major role in transportation. US and state highways also cross the region. Rail transport through the area is limited by the difficult terrain and the sheer number of bridges required to build over numerous streams and bayous. A robust railroad system was being built at the time of the American Civil War, but much of it was destroyed during the conflict. By the end of the war, river transport via paddlewheeler had taken over as the preferred

1852, the railroad discovered that the bridge was not firm at all. The bridge swayed when trains would cross over the bridge. With the train on top, it would depress the track and make it rise as the equipment crossed the structure. When the railroad decided what to do about the unsafe bridge, they first considered an all-stone structure. That was turned down in favor of filling in the bridge. Construction on the new fill began in 1859. Progress began in 1860, with the large stone piers and

National Bridge Inventory


The National Bridge Inventory (NBI) is a database, compiled by the Federal Highway Administration, with information on all bridges and tunnels in the United States that have roads passing above or below. This is similar to the grade crossing identifier number database compiled by the Federal Railroad Administration which identifies all railroad crossings. This bridge information includes the design of the bridge and the dimensions of the usable portion. The data is often used to analyze bridges and judge their conditions. The inventory is developed with the purpose of having a unified
