There is a glaring discrepancy between this article and the article Chain of Rocks Bridge.
In that article, it is stated:
However, in this (New Chain of Rocks Bridge) article it is stated:
Well which is it? here I find:
which tends to support the former explanation, but not exactly, and actually seems to be a third explanation. Plus who is John Weks anyway? And why does a bridge crossing a river diagonally impede navigation? This official Missouri document (pdf) states that both reasons are in play. So this seems rather murky at best, and if a truly reliable original source can't be found, perhaps we should remove speculation about the reason for the 22 degree bend from both articles.

This article refers to the Chain of Rocks Bridge over the Mississippi River. Over a mile to the east, the Chain of rocks canal has a different bridge that carries I-270 over the canal. The canal bridge was demolished in early February 2015 after a replacement was built. The pair of bridges over the Mississippi River has not been demolished. There is also an article for the old Chain of Rocks Bridge just downstream of this bridge. There is an article about the Chain of Rocks Lock, but apparently no article for the canal or any of the bridges over the canal. The canal is only 500 ft or so wide, the Mississipi River is over 3,200 ft wide at the point the "New" Chain of Rocks Bridge. Perhaps this article is not named terribly well, since it has been "new" since 1966. It is newer than the historic 1929 Chain of Rocks Bridge. TLDR; this is not an article about the chain of Rocks canal bridge, 1.5 miles to the east. --Dual Freq (talk) 00:09, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
And on that note, what will this "New Chain of Rocks Bridge" page be called when this 52 year old bridge is replaced with an even newer one? (as is currently being planned). Wilke339 (talk) 21:20, 30 May 2018 (UTC) wilke339
