The Waddell "A" Truss Bridge, also known as Linn Branch Creek Bridge, is a historic truss bridge located at Parkville, Platte County, Missouri. It was built in 1898. It was designed by engineer John Alexander Low Waddell and is the subject of a U.S. patent, U.S. Patent 529,220.
Waddell went on to become a distinguished engineer of many lift-type bridges (which this is not).
The Waddell "A" Truss Bridge spanned the Linn Branch Creek, in Missouri, but was removed for the construction of Smithville Lake.
