Arsenal Bridge Project
About The Bridge
The Arsenal Bridge, also known as the Government Bridge, crosses the Mississippi river connecting Rock Island, Illinois and Davenport, Iowa. The bridge has two levels. The top level is a two-lane railway (figure 2) and the lower is a two-lane roadway (figure 3). The total length of the bridge is 1,608 feet long. To accommodate for river traffic it has a pivoting swing section (figure 4). The bridge has been operational since 1896 and is the fourth in succession at this location.
