Here's a shot of three different bridges. The first one is the Atchison Rail Bridge, which also happens to be a swing bridge (and is in the "open" position for river traffic today. The middle bridge is the current Amelia Earhart bridge carrying US 59 over the Missouri River. The Arch bridge in the back is the new Earhart bridge, which remains under construction. 20 June 2012
