Keokuk–Hamilton Bridge, Road bridge across Mississippi River in Keokuk, US.
The Keokuk-Hamilton Bridge spans the Mississippi River with four traffic lanes and includes a fenced pedestrian walkway connecting Iowa and Illinois.
The steel girder bridge opened in November 1985, replacing the previous Keokuk Rail Bridge while maintaining railroad tracks on a separate structure.
The bridge represents a vital transportation link between the states of Iowa and Illinois, carrying U.S. Route 136 across the Mississippi River.
During flood events, the Illinois Department of Transportation reinforced the bridge approaches with additional rock to maintain access between the states.
The bridge structure required elevation modifications of 4 to 6 feet in certain sections to prevent closure during Mississippi River flooding periods.
