The Niobrara River Bridge is a triple-span railroad bridge over the Niobrara River in Niobrara State Park, Knox County, Nebraska, that was built in 1929. [2]

Contents

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. [1]

It is one of few multi-span railroad bridges in Nebraska. [2]

In March 2019, a flood exacerbated by the collapse of the Spencer Dam upstream washed away six spans of the bridge, including one of the truss spans. The bridge is closed to the public.
