New Chain of Rocks Bridge, Interstate bridge over Mississippi River in Granite City, United States.
The New Chain of Rocks Bridge extends 5,411 feet across the Mississippi River, featuring four traffic lanes connecting Illinois and Missouri.
The bridge opened in 1966 to replace the original Chain of Rocks Bridge, providing a modern route for Bypass US 66 traffic between states.
The bridge structure represents a transition in American transportation infrastructure, marking the shift from narrow historic bridges to wider interstate crossings.
Motorists can access the bridge from Interstate 270, with connections to major highways in both Illinois and Missouri throughout the year.
The bridge stands near two water intake towers from the 1800s and the original Chain of Rocks Bridge, which now serves pedestrians.
