The Eudora Kaw River Bridge is an automobile and pedestrian crossing of the Kansas River located just north of the town of Eudora, Kansas. It is a girder bridge, open to traffic. It is also the first bridge over the river for almost four miles, as the Highway 2 Bridge is far off to the east. The bridge runs concurrent with Leavenworth County's County Road 1 and Douglas County's County Road 1061 and the town of Eudora is just south of the bridge. The two lane bridge has a span of 1,360 feet〔(17 July 2009).
