	Eads Bridge
		Celebrating the re-opening of the Eads Bridge on the 4th of July is significant because the bridge originally opened on the 4th of July in 1874.
		Eads, more than likely, would be puzzled by the display of exuberant amateur athleticism, not to mention all the publicly exposed flesh, initiating new life for the crossing.
		Eads was convinced that the Union must be master of the Mississippi and he pleaded his case to Edward Bates, President Lincoln's attorney general.

		Eads knew that this must be done as he had been 65 feet below the river surface at Cairo, and there he had found the river bottom to be a moving mass at least three feet deep.
		Eads was absolutely convinced his bridge must be laid on bed rock, even if he had to go through 100 feet of sand to lay his piers on rock.
		One curious detail connected with the building of the bridge in that the Milwaukee, a double turreted gun boat, which Eads had built, and had served in the war was bought from a junk dealer and her iron hull was used in making the caissons.

	EADS BRIDGE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		However, once in Washington, Eads disregarded the compromise plan of the rival Illinois and St. Louis Bridge Company, and lobbied for a law that stipulated an arch bridge with a minimum height of 50 feet above the highwater mark of 1826, which was 711 feet lower than the flood of 1844.
		Eads, fearing the consequences of a well organized movement against the bridge, worked out a compromise with the rival bridge company, and in 1867 they merged (Bond 1969:55).
		However, no serious damage was done to the bridge construction, and by 1872 the piers had all been laid to bedrock and the approach arches across the levees in East St. Louis and St. Louis completed (Plates 5 and 6).

	North American Cable Stayed Bridge Registry
		The second golden age of bridge construction was in the middle half of the 20th century as many monumental suspension bridges were built.
		This differs from a suspension bridge in that a suspension bridge has a suspension cable that runs from tower to tower, and the roadway is carried by down cables that link to the supsension cable.
		This results in a bridge that is relatively lightweight in construction, is far less costly than a metal cantilever brides, and uses far less cable than a suspension bridge.

		The former toll bridge, mismanaged for years by the city of Venice before it was condemned in 2001, is being refurbished to accomodate two lanes of vehicle traffic, with outside lanes for bicycles and pedestrians.

		Louis: The Eads Bridge was one of the first ever built across the Mississippi, and it's one of the most beautiful, both in terms of grace and engineering.
