The SAVE THE KATY BRIDGE COALITION INC is a non-profit organization based in Boonville, Missouri. The organization was formed with the aim of preserving and rehabilitating the historic Katy Bridge, also known as the MKT Bridge, which spans across the Missouri River.

The Katy Bridge was built in 1896 and was an important part of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad. The bridge was in operation for over a century before it was shut down in 1986 due to structural issues. Since then, the bridge has been abandoned and has fallen into disrepair.

The SAVE THE KATY BRIDGE COALITION INC was formed in 2005 by a group of concerned citizens who recognized the significance of the historic bridge and wanted to save it from demolition. The organization has been working tirelessly to raise funds and awareness about the bridge's importance and potential for future use.

The coalition's efforts have paid off with the Katy Bridge being added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. In 2016, the bridge was purchased by the City of Boonville with the intention of restoring it for use as a pedestrian and bicycle path.

The organization continues to work towards rehabilitating and preserving the Katy Bridge for future generations to enjoy. Their efforts have not only ensured the survival of this historic landmark but also contributed to the revitalization of the Boonville community.
