the projected opening of the bridge from late 2013 to late 2014. The US 34 designation was applied to the new bridge in May 2014, before construction was completed. The bridge was dedicated on October 22, 2014. Governors Terry Branstad of Iowa and Dave Heineman of Nebraska, both of whom spoke at the opening ceremony, felt the bridge would be a boon to the local economy and attract jobs. After the new bridge opened, the state highway designation (N-370 and Iowa 370) was pulled from the Bellevue Bridge. An agreement was reached in 2010 to transfer jurisdiction of Iowa 370 on the Iowa side from the state to Mills County. The transfer was to take place upon completion of the new US 34 bridge. At the Plattsmouth Bridge, a weight limit was posted on the bridge after rusted gusset plates were found.
