In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the completion of the iconic Eads Bridge, Eads Bridge at 150 examines the complexities of its design, its construction, and the role it has played since it opened in 1874. You’ll learn about the personal rivalries during the bridge’s conception, the engineering and political challenges the structure posed, and just how intense it was to work inside the bridge’s famous caissons (and what a caisson is). Most important, we’ll look at the bridge’s legacy as a symbol of St. Louis—from the big, historic moments to the everyday memories it has witnessed over the last 150 years.
