So since we are posting American bridges, here's the Clark Bridge, on the Mississippi, in my hometown of Alton, IL.  The bridge looks impressive, but the weird thing is, it connects one small town to some swampland with a highway that runs through it.  And the towns in the area are either quaint & historic or poor & industrial.  It looks terribly out of place here.

Still, it has been called an engineering marvel (not sure why...) and Nova even made a movie about it which aired on TV.
