Opening in summer 2024, the historic Rock Island Railroad Bridge will be reinvented as the world’s first entertainment district over a river! With live music, dining, coffee shops and bars, pop-up shops, trailhead service, and more…there’s always something to experience on the bridge. This 1905 bridge that once carried freight and livestock into the historic West Bottoms is being reinvented as a keystone for the emerging Kansas waterfront. Recreational activities emerging around the bridge include hiking and biking trails, kayaking and canoeing, farmers markets, and art fairs – the Rock Island Bridge is like nothing you’ve ever seen or done. Longer than the St. Louis Arch is tall, the bridge offers open-air community spaces with viewing platforms—the perfect setting to catch a yoga class or grab a coffee. Enjoy lunch, dinner and drinks on the enclosed main deck. The top deck features a 50-foot bar with sweeping views of the river valley, as well as an indoor event space with seating for 250 people. Destined to be Kansas City’s newest icon, be among the first to experience the Rock Island Bridge. Scheduled to open in summer 2024.
