McKinley Bridge, Road bridge between St. Louis, Missouri and Venice, Illinois, United States.
The McKinley Bridge spans the Mississippi River with three steel truss spans of 519 feet each and thirty-three steel plate girder spans totaling 4,162.5 feet.
Initially constructed in 1910 for the Illinois Traction electric interurban railroad, the bridge later incorporated vehicle lanes and served as part of the original U.S. Route 66.
The bridge supports community connectivity with dedicated lanes for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, linking the northern sections of St. Louis with Venice neighborhoods.
Access to the bridge is available through Illinois Route 3 on the Illinois side and the intersection of Salisbury and North 9th Street in St. Louis.
The structure bears the name of William McKinley from the Illinois Electric Traction Association, not the former United States president as many assume.
