This is the coolest bridge ever and we were able to walk down to the water's edges underneath and get some cool perspective shots. Of course it was an exposure nightmare with bright white skys and deep shadows underneath but it seemed to work out ok. St Louis as it turns out is pretty cool and very photogenic. Here are the bridge facts for anyone who cares: The Eads Bridge is a combined road and railway bridge over the Mississippi River at St. Louis, connecting St. Louis and East St. Louis, Illinois. The bridge is named for its designer and builder, Captain James B. Eads. When completed in 1874, the Eads Bridge was the longest arch bridge in the world, with an overall length of 6,442 feet (1,964 m).

St. Louis - Eads Bridge
Made by Jassy-50
Taken from the Gateway Arch toward the dark, arched Eads Bridge (with the modern, silver-colored MLK Mem. suspension bridge behind it). As can be seen by the submerged parking signs, the Mississippi River was a tad flooded at the time. The Eads Bridge, a three-span, ribbed steel arch bridge (1874) with an overall length of 6,442' and a clearance of 50 above high water, rests on piers that rise 193' (east) and 113' (west) from bedrock. It was designed and built by Captain James B. Eads (1820-1887), who utilized an innovative cantilever support to produce spans larger than any previously constructed. The largest bridge of its time, it linked railroads running east from St. Louis, Illinois, with those going west from St. Louis, Missouri. A US National Historic Landmark.

Statue of Lewis and Clark next to the Mississippi River in St. Louis. Except in this picture, you can only see one of them (Lewis or Clark, I'm not sure), and they're IN the river. Here's what the statue looks like in more normal times:
