150 Years of the Eads Bridge

Presented by Amanda Clark
The Eads Bridge, celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2024, sits humbly beneath our iconic Gateway Arch. The bridge has no reason to be humble—it was the first, largest, and greatest of its kind when built. This presentation will tell the story of not only the bridge’s origins, but also its life, bearing witness to a century and a half of our city’s daily rhythms and monumental moments.
