Route 66 crossing the Mississippi

[Urbanian]

Historic Route 66 crossing the Mighty Mississippi on the “Chain of Rocks” bridge.

Today it’s more of a museum than a transportation bridge. A bicycle organization raised funds to refurbish the bridge and connect it with a bike trail network. The bridge is now open to only non-motorized traffic.

Cool, nice pics. I like your tall Givi windscreen.

That's something to be proud of! Preserved, yet functional. Very nice

I usually cross at St Louis on my way to Bull Shoals Arkansas

Now I feel old. I use to DRIVE across that bridge, unless that is the one that the trains used. It was quite tight to pass oncoming traffic on it. That was in the late '60s.

So, no PCX across the bridge?

nope. Had to walk across.

Gotta get on the freeway to cross the river on a scooter.

There is an interstate highway bridge immediately north of here. You can barely see it on the far right of the first pic.

For a while I thought that this bridge was seen in the movie Easy Rider. But no, that was Long-Allen Bridge at Morgan, Louisiana.
