Clark Bridge West Alton, MO 63386

"As a fellow Clark I highly endorse this bridge. Not only is it my gateway to the 314, but it also is not plagued by construction like other bridges in the area."

"Best bridge to cross from for people that are intimidated by high or long bridges. It feels very reassuring with plenty of lane space. The nearby Missouri river one is great too."

"There is a Civil War Memorial if you take the little road accessible from both sides of the highway on the Missouri side of this bridge. You can drive right up to the Mississippi River and fish if you like or just enjoy the view. There are public restrooms, a picnic area, and duck blinds set up in the marshy area adjacent to the river too."

"Very pretty bridge. Nice views. Wide bike lane. Great spot to cross the river and hit the bike trails."

"By Wikipedia, there was an Old Clark Bridge that carried U.S. Route 67 across the Mississippi River between West Alton, Missouri and Alton, Illinois. That bridge It was built on 1924 and replaced by the new one on 1994. The new Clark Bridge is the first bridge with a light steel-framed cable-stayed design and combined with a cable saddle type of pylon. The new bridge totally used 8,100 tons of structural steel; 44,100 cubic yards of concrete; and more than 160 miles of cable wrapped with four acres of yellow plastic piping. A very beautiful bridge!"
