Jefferson Barracks Bridge

Posted May 2, 2006, by James (sptfanstl [at] hotmail [dot] com)

These two bridges were built in the late very 1980's into the very early 1990's. The east bound was built second (it is located in the same alighnment as the old original bridge that was replaced) and was dedicated in December 1991. The westbound was built first right alongside the original bridge.
