Lewis Bridge, Road bridge in St. Louis County, United States.
Lewis Bridge is a road bridge that crosses the Missouri River and connects St. Louis County with St. Charles County using U.S. Route 67. The structure has four lanes designed to handle traffic moving between these two counties.
An original narrow two-lane bridge opened in 1927 to connect the two counties across the river. The current structure was completed in 1979 to replace that earlier bridge as traffic demands grew.
The bridge location serves as a meeting point for local residents who gather for fishing activities and riverside walks throughout the year.
The bridge is maintained by Missouri transportation officials and remains open to traffic flowing in both directions. Anyone driving between the two counties will cross it as part of their normal journey.
The longest single span of the structure stretches about 430 feet across the river, engineered to handle the main flow of traffic. This central span carries the heaviest load of vehicles crossing daily.
