According to beautyphoon, the Lewis Bridge is a girder bridge in the United States, located in the state of Missouri. The bridge spans the Missouri River north of St. Louis, with US 67 crossing it.
Characteristics
The Lewis Bridge is an 848m long steel girder bridge with a main span of 131m. The bridge deck is 21 meters above the Missouri River and is 25.3 meters wide. US 67 runs across the bridge from St. Louis to Alton. The bridge has a freeway profile, with 2×2 lanes and emergency lanes. The bridge is toll-free. West of the bridge is the Bellefontaine Bridge, a railway bridge. Just north of the Lewis Bridge is the Clark Bridge over the Mississippi River, also part of US 67. The Lewis Bridge is the most downstream bridge over the Missouri River.
History
The first bridge at this site was a two-lane steel truss bridge that opened in 1927. This was the first bridge connection across the Missouri River north of St. Louis for road traffic. The bridge was right next to the railway bridge. Due to the increasing traffic, it was decided to replace the bridge. The characteristic half-timbered bridge has been replaced by a sober girder bridge, which was opened in 1979. The old bridge was subsequently demolished. In 2006 the Lewis Bridge was renovated.
Traffic intensities
In 2012, 24,000 vehicles drove over the bridge every day, which means that it is not used very intensively.
