Chain of Rocks




The Chain of Rocks Bridge spans the Mississippi River on the north edge of St. Louis, Missouri. The eastern end of the bridge is on Chouteau Island, (part of Madison, Illinois), while the western end is on the Missouri shoreline.


They say the actual bridge is 1 mile long, but when you take account of the approach from the Illinois side its structure covers 2 miles.

View from the Missouri side, it bends at it's centre point to aid navigation on the river.
