The CB&Q had two train/car bridges in Kansas City. 

The Hannibal Bridge includes a swing span, with the usual arrangement of rails 
on the lower level, and autos on the upper level.  The Broadway Bridge (auto 
only) was completed in 1955, so I assume auto traffic on the Hannibal Bridge 
ended at that time.  The roadway approaches and upper deck has been removed.   

The ASB bridge is the only one of the type in the world.  The vertical lift 
span only lifts the railroad deck on the lower level.  The upper level, which 
carried the automobile traffic, does not movable.  Therefore, automotive 
traffic would continue when the moveable span was lifted. 

The Heart of America Bridge (auto only) was completed in the mid-80s, and auto 
traffic removed from the ASB Bridge.  The roadway approaches have been removed 
from the ASB Bridge.
