The Vachel Lindsay
Memorial Bridge joins East and West Lake Drives at
Recreation Point. The Bridge was built in 1933 and 1934
to simulate a multiple arch bridge, the structure is
really a series of cantilevers with heavy counter
weighted abutments. There are eleven spans which total
1,394 feet in length. The Burns & McDonnell Engineering
Company not only made the original engineering studies
but designed the major structures and acted as the
consultant throughout the entire construction period.
This bridge is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places.
