King of Trails bridge project to span Platte river
Plans were completed yesterday in Omaha for a new steel and concrete King of Trails Bridge over the Platte river north of Plattsmouth. The $125000 structure would be toll free once investment is returned, then transferred to Cass and Sarpy counties as a non toll bridge. The 20 foot wide, 100 foot span design will be erected east of the current bridges to straighten the south road. Officers named include President Henry A. Schneider and Vice President Everett Buckingham. The project aims to connect the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border as part of the King of Trails highway with federal aid pursued.
