St. Louis/MO Bridges – Continued 14 comments
It’s quite a while since I last published any of my pictures from our „RailTrailsRoadTrip“ in October last year. So I really need to continue. Here’s a picture of Eads Bridge. We passed underneath it on our 2-hour cruise of the waterfron to St. Louis.
Eads Bridge, St. Louis/MO
This picture has been edited, I must admit, both with ACDSee Ultimate 9 [for a light equalizer] and with easyHDR [for enhancement of details], but I think this brings out the fine metal structure very well, even if it does look a tad artificial.

Dogleg Bridge 2 comments
As mentioned in my previous posting, the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge is quite unique as it has a dogleg [20-degree bend] right in the middle:
A Bridge with a Dogleg
The reason for this unique feature: the planners had to allow for
- a 90-degree angle for barges passing underneath, directly into or with the flow of the Mississippi, and
- putting the foundations on solid rock.

The Old Chain of Rocks Bridge, crossing the Mississippi above-river of St. Louis, linking Missouri and Illinois. In the olden days the famous Route 66 lead over it, and today it’s part of the fantastic (bicycling-) trails in the vicinity of St. Louis:

I liked the way the decaying railway ties of this „bridge“ looked:

I’m glad that the Hot Springs Creek Greenway Trail doesn’t lead across THAT bridge! Well, there’s no longer any railway traffic either. Luckily!
What a Decrepit Bridge!
