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.

Famous quotes containing the word notes:

    “The drama critic on your paper said my chablis-tinted hair was like a soft halo over wide set, inviting eyes, and my mouth, my mouth was a lush tunnel through which golden notes came.”
    —Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)

    “In trying to understand the appeal of best-sellers, it is well to remember that whistles can be made sounding certain notes which are clearly audible to dogs and other of the lower animals, though man is incapable of hearing them.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    “There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes over for thousands of years.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)
