Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge

The Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge is a 3,000-foot-long suspension bridge that connects Omaha, Nebraska, to Council Bluffs, Iowa, spanning the Missouri River. Completed in 2000, this steel structure offers views of the river and is designed specifically for pedestrians and cyclists, marked by its distinct S-curve. A walk across the bridge provides a unique perspective of the city skyline and the natural landscape. Early mornings or late afternoons are the best times to visit for a quieter experience, and it's easily accessible from downtown Omaha. Nearby, the Heartland of America Park features a picturesque lake and a fountain, adding to the recreational options.
