The Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge is a unique footbridge that connects Omaha, Nebraska, to Council Bluffs, Iowa, over the Missouri River. Opened in 2008 and named after the senator who helped secure funding for its construction, this modern cable-stayed bridge features a striking s-curve design and is an essential attraction for both locals and visitors alike.

Spanning 3,000 feet, the bridge offers stunning views of the Omaha skyline and extensive paved trails on both sides, ideal for pedestrians and cyclists. Its vibrant lighting at night adds to the experience, making it a popular spot for evening strolls and connecting people across state lines.
