Discovery Bridge, Road bridge across Missouri River in St Louis region, United States.
The Discovery Bridge stretches 3,455 feet with six traffic lanes connecting St Louis County to St Charles County across the Missouri River.
The construction of the Discovery Bridge occurred between 1989 and 1992, with Massman Construction managing the river substructure and steel girder installation.
The bridge structure includes a dedicated path on the northeast side that connects travelers to the Katy Trail, a long-distance recreational path below.
The bridge accommodates 62,490 vehicles daily and contains a barrier-separated path for pedestrians and cyclists, making it accessible for multiple transportation modes.
The two trusses of the bridge were constructed 500 feet downstream on temporary supports before being moved into their permanent position.
