The Lake of the Ozarks Community Bridge is a continuous truss bridge in Lake Ozark, Missouri. Opened on May 2, 1998, the bridge connects the east and west sides of the Lake of the Ozarks. The bridge is over 2,695 ft (821 m) long and 72 ft (22 m). Construction on the bridge began in 1996 and the bridge cost over $43 million.[1] To pay for the cost of the bridge, the bridge was established as a toll bridge with varying rates depending on the time of year. It remained a toll bridge until April 30, 2024. The bridge was the only toll road in Missouri prior to the toll being removed.[2]
