Government Bridge,

Davenport, IA 52801

"Not bad place to visit sometimes the Bridge opens when boats come to the Arsenal."

"Convenience factor, the government bridge helps with my daily commutes, MOST days. Let me emphasize MOST. On the days it hinders my commutes, the government bridge sucks a bunch. For that reason, it gets 4 stars for helpfulness most days, and a one star deduction for being a giant pain in my a$$ the other days. Today is one of those seldom days, prompting me to write such a scathing review. The bridge has some cool history factors also, which gives me the reasoning to stick with my 4 stars. 1st bridge accross the mississippi, cool factor indeed. Abraham Lincoln was counsel to the railroad when a disgruntled steam boat destroyed the original, cool factor fosho!"

"I always enjoyed travelling across this bridge when visiting family in the Quad Cities. It's really cool how the train tracks run above the roadway. That makes it very unique. If you have time, it's really cool seeing the bridge swing open to let a barge pass through!"

"Was able to watch a barge go through and the bridge swing shut."

"For some reason I feel safer on this old bridge than the other choices in the Quad Cities. Built to last, over 120 years old, the quintessential Mississippi River experience sitting watching the swing span open and a barge pass through."
