1914 Finish The Bridge St. Louis MacArthur Municipal Free Vintage Pinback Button
ORIGINAL CITIZENS BRIDGE COMMITTEE PINBACK BUTTON
The MacArthur Bridge over the Mississippi River between St. Louis,
Missouri and East St. Louis, Illinois is a 677-foot (206 m) long truss bridge.
Construction on the bridge was begun in 1909 by the city of St. Louis
to break the Terminal Railroad Association of
St. Louis's monopoly on the area's railroad traffic.
Money ran out before the bridge approaches could be finished,
however, and the bridge did not open until 1917,
and then only to automobile traffic.
Railroad traffic would not use the bridge's lower deck until 1928.
The bridge was initially called the "St. Louis Municipal Bridge"
and known popularly as the "Free Bridge."
Tolls were added for auto traffic beginning in 1932.
In 1942 the bridge was renamed for Douglas MacArthur.
