inter-city viaduct

Named the Inter-City Viaduct because it spans both Kansas City, Mo. and Kansas City, Kan., the double-level bridge was completed in 1907, accommodating both roadway travelers and pedestrians alike. With a steadfast design by the firm Waddell and Redrick, the bridge withstood the 1910 great flood as well as the great flood of 1951 – that time, remaining the only open bridge within either city. In 1969, the Inter-City Viaduct was renamed the Lewis and Clark Viaduct.
