Keokuk Rail Bridge, Double-deck transport bridge in Keokuk and Hamilton, United States.
The Keokuk Rail Bridge connects Iowa and Illinois across the Mississippi River with separate levels for railway and road transportation.
Engineer Ralph Modjeski designed this steel bridge in 1915, incorporating the foundation piers from an earlier structure built in 1869.
The bridge represents a milestone in American transportation infrastructure, connecting communities across the Mississippi River since the early 20th century.
The upper deck provides an observation platform for viewing Lock and Dam 19, while trains continue to operate on the lower level.
The bridge's swing section remains open for river traffic until a train approaches, prioritizing water transportation over rail movement.
