There are alot of different types of bridges such as the cantilever,draw bridge and causeway etc. What type of bridge(s) is in your city or town? What year was it built? What body of water does it go over?
I'm truly sorry about that Minnehahapolitan. That disaster hit me like 9/11. It's something that shouldn't happen anywhere in the USA. I feel for your loss.
St. Louis has many different bridges over the Mississippi and Missouri of all different types. THe Poplar Street Bridge, the I-255 Jefferson Barracks Bridge, the New Chain of Rocks bridge (I-270), the MLK bridge, eventually the future I-70 bridge which will resemble the nearby U.S. 67 bridge over the Mississippi (the Clark Bridge between Alton and St. Charles County/St. Louis County), there is also the Lewis Bridge over the Missouri River further south on U.S. 67, there is the I-64 bridge over the Missouri River, the Blanchette Bridge over the Missouri River (I-70), the Highway 370 bridge over the Missouri and further south, the Highway 364 bridge over the Missouri. I can't name the different types of bridges, although I should be able to given I had statics...it's been awhile. St. Louis likely has the greatest variety of bridges of any city in the United States. We are "Bridge City"
Yep...the Eads was actually the first bridge connecting St. Louis traffic across the Mississippi River...a very crucial link not only for St. Louis but the entire United States considering the core of eastbound and westbound American commerce usually passes through either St. Louis or Chicago at some point. incredibly advanced for its time, and still modern today...just crossed over it the other day in fact. When the future I-70 bridge is constructed St. Louis is going to a major facelift. One more step to being complete..mwahahaha
If you want to count inactive bridges in St. Louis and bridges for trains, that should add four to five more to the picture. THe McKinley bridge (old Route 66 bridge) on the northern tip of downtown, there is another bridge south of the Poplar which also used to be a bridge for Route 66, there is the original Chain of Rocks bridge (tons of graffiti on the bridge), there are I believe two train bridges over the Missouri and Mississippi paralleling U.S. 67, and there is also a railroad route I believe paralleling Highway 370 over the Missouri River.
