Lecompton Road Bridge
The Lecompton Road Bridge is a two lane girder bridge over Kansas River at Lecompton, Kansas, connecting to the nearby town of Perry. The Current Bridge, opened in 1970, is the second bridge at this location. Prior to 1898, travel across the Kansas River at Lecompton could only be accomplished by ferry. However, the fluctuations in the river level made the ferry difficult to operate, and in February 1897, the Kansas Legislature authorized Douglas and Jefferson counties to construct a bridge.
