Poplar Street Bridge (St. Louis, Missouri)

USA / Illinois / Sauget / St. Louis, Missouri
 street, bridge
While not carrying Poplar Street across the Mississippi, it does carry, interstates 55, 64 and 70 along with US40. This was the bridge seen in "National Lampoon's Vaction" right before they got lost in St Louis.

It is also worthy to note that the scenes taking place in St. Louis seen in "National Lampoon's Vacation" were actually filmed in East St. Louis.

This is the only bridge in the United States that carries three separate Interstate Highways over one span. Which means avoid using this bridge during rush hour like the plague !!
