Blair Bridge on June 20, 2011 during the 2011 Missouri River floods. Authorities attempted to keep the bridge open since it was the only crossing that could be crossed between Sioux City and Omaha.
The first Blair Bridge opened to traffic in 1929. It was designed by Harrington, Howard, and Ash and Sverdrup & Parcel and constructed by Kansas City Bridge Company, Wisconsin Bridge & Iron Company, and Woods Brothers Construction Company. Originally a toll bridge, the tolls were removed in 1962.[2]
In 1991, a new structure replaced the original truss bridge.
