Eads bridge symbolizes the resilience of St. Louis as a whole. Construction on Eads Bridge was completed in 1974 and ever since it has stood the test of both river currents and time. You can navigate through images of Eads Bridge to the left and see how even though the mode of transport on and under the bridge has evolved and changed, the bridge keeps it's identity. Just like St. Louis and it's people have changed throughout it's history, the identity of St. Louis remains.
