Chain of Rocks Bridge from Illinois Side

Chain of Rocks Bridge from the Illinois side of the Mississippi River. The Bridge was the route used by U.S. Route 66 to cross over the Mississippi. Its most notable feature is a 22-degree bend occurring at the middle of the crossing, necessary for navigation on the river. Originally a motor route, it now carries walking and biking trails over the river. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
