Review & FAQ:

The Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge is an s-curved 3000-foot cable bridge spanning the Missouri River between Omaha, Nebraska, and Council Bluffs, Iowa. As visitors walk across the bridge, they come to a place where they can literally stand with one foot in Nebraska and the other in Iowa, which offers a nice photo opportunity.

At the Omaha end, Omaha Plaza provides a place for visitors to sit while they admire the bridge and the river or splash about in the jet-spray fountain. There is also a visitors center and children’s play area. The best time to see the bridge is at night when it and the Omaha skyline are lit.
