Built in 1927, this toll double-decker through truss swing bridge is also known as the Santa Fe Swing Span Bridge. It carries the Great River Road traffic over the Mississippi River, with road traffic occupying the upper deck and rail traffic on the lower deck. It is currently owned by BNSF Railway and Amtrak’s Southwest Chief also uses the bridge.
