Jefferson Barracks Bridge, Road bridge across Mississippi River between Illinois and Missouri, United States
The Jefferson Barracks Bridge features twin tied-arch structures spanning 3,998 feet with six lanes carrying Interstate 255 and US Route 50 traffic.
The original steel truss toll bridge opened in 1944, while the current northern segment began operations in 1983 followed by the southern section in 1992.
The bridge name connects to Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery and military complex, established in 1826 as a significant regional military installation.
Traffic volumes reach 63,199 vehicles daily, with the structure maintaining an 88-foot clearance for Mississippi River vessels passing underneath.
Before the bridge construction, residents crossed the Mississippi River using the Davis Street Ferry from the Carondelet neighborhood of St Louis.
