Opened in 1929, the bridge was designated as Bypass U.S. 66 in the late 1930s and carried travelers from Illinois into Missouri over the Mississippi River until it closed to vehicle traffic in 1970. It is notable for having a bend in the middle of the crossing. Today it is a pedestrian bridge that offers spectacular views.
