The Union Pacific Bridge (Two Rivers Bridge) is the first bridge on the Kansas River at Kansas City. It was built in 1904, and is a four span, through-truss structure carrying a single railroad track. It is located immediately north from the Intercity Viaduct. It replaces the first bridge at this location, which was destroyed by a flood in 1903.
