The Heart of America Bridge is a vehicular girder bridge over the Missouri River, in Kansas City, Missouri. It carries Route 9. It is the vehicular replacement for the upper level of the ASB Bridge, and runs next to it a few hundred yards downstream. It was opened in 1987.
In September 2010, a bi-directional bicycle and pedestrian path to separate from motorized traffic, was opened on the northbound side.[1] It is the first separated pedestrian crossing of the Missouri River in the Kansas City metropolitan area.[2] The Engineer of Record for that project is Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company.[citation needed]
