The MKT Railroad Bridge (1932), Cooper and Howard Counties
Nominated by Save The Bridge Committee

(Boonville, February 3, 2010) Governor Jay Nixon announced that Union Pacific had entered an agreement to donate the MKT Bridge to the City of Boonville. The bridge had been precariously close to demolition several times during the five years it was on Missouri Preservation's Most Endangered Historic Places list.

Congratulations to the City of Boonville and Sarah Gallagher, Save The Bridge, Inc. and Paula Shannon, and to the thousands who supported this effort. This unique and historic bridge demonstrates the important link that history preservation holds for the future through economic development and cultural and heritage tourism.
