Description
A view of the St Louis pumping station intake tower #1 from the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. It sits in the middle of the Mississippi River at the Chain of Rocks. You can just make out St Louis in the distance.
The Old Chain of Rocks Bridge is infamous for its unusual 30-degree bend near its center. At 5353 feet long which is slightly longer than a mile, it is one of the longest continuous steel truss bridges in the United States. It is also the longest Route 66 river crossing. The piers for the bridge are 55 feet above the Mississippi River's high water mark, giving you a view of the St Louis Arch above the trees some 20+ miles away.
