Great look into the past
Chain of Rocks Bridge的点评
点评：I remember riding across the bridge as a small child. I believe the toll was a dime each way in the early 1960s. The narrow lanes were scary at all times of the day and especially at night with that bend in the middle. The political fight that Madison, Illinois put up in the 1960s to stop the I-270 Bridge (which was and still is free) and keep their toll bridge as the only crossing between downtown St. Louis and Alton, IL was fierce.
The Missouri side entrance has been upgraded as part of the larger "I-270 Bridge Replacement" project just upstream from the Chain of Rocks Bridge. The Missouri side now has a sheltered picnic area with grills, paved parking, and "outhouse" style toilet facilities. The site is also gated and has staff on hand during operating hours for security.
The bridge itself is a walk into the past. Much of the concrete decking appears to be original and every few feet there are "Bell System" manholes where telephone lines were run. The views on the river were tremendous, one can even see the Gateway Arch several miles downstream from the bridge.
The Illinois side entrance is a little more "primitive" than Missouri, just a couple of information boards on the bridge and US 66. Hopefully once the new I-270 Bridge is completed, Illinois will make upgrades to their side of the old bridge entrance.
Best advice on walking the bridge, take your time and wear the most comfortable shoes you own. Remember it's a mile to cross the bridge and a mile to get back to your car.

翻译：我记得小时候骑车过桥的情景。我记得在20世纪60年代初，单程过桥费大概是一角钱。狭窄的车道在白天的任何时候都令人胆战心惊，尤其是在晚上，中间有一个弯道。20世纪60年代，伊利诺伊州麦迪逊市为阻止I-270大桥（当时免费，现在仍然免费）并保留其收费桥作为圣路易斯市中心和伊利诺伊州奥尔顿之间唯一的通道而展开了激烈的政治斗争。
密苏里州的侧门已升级，这是“I-270大桥更换”项目的一部分，该项目位于岩石链桥上游。密苏里州一侧现在设有带烧烤架的遮蔽野餐区、铺砌停车场和“户外厕所”式的卫生间。现场也设有大门，并在运营时间内有工作人员值班，确保安全。
这座桥本身就是一条通往过去的通道。大部分混凝土桥面看起来都是原有的，每隔几英尺就有一个“贝尔系统”的检修孔，用于铺设电话线。河上的景色美不胜收，甚至可以看到桥下游几英里处的拱门。
伊利诺伊州的入口比密苏里州的入口略显“原始”，只有桥上和66号美国国道上的几块信息牌。希望新的270号州际公路大桥竣工后，伊利诺伊州能够升级旧桥入口的那一侧。
关于步行过桥，我建议你慢慢走，穿上最舒适的鞋子。记住，过桥要走一英里，回到车上也要走一英里。
