New Chain of Rocks Bridge - Notes

Notes

  • Until 1994, locals heavily used this crossing due to the constant problems of the Old Clark Bridge.
  • On August 10, 1994, a broken beam caused the closure of 3 of the 4 lanes on the bridge for a few days. The lanes were reopened on August 14, 1994.
  • In the near future, IDOT wants to replace this span as a part of widening I-270 from 4 lanes to 6 lanes from I-255 to Lilac.
  • The nearby Canal Bridges is doomed as IDOT plans on replacing them.
  • The I-70 Corridor of the Future by FHWA is favoring the I-270 corridor in St. Louis, which includes this bridge.

    And what goes on in it, the naming of the wind,
    Our notes to each other, always repeated, always the same.
