Chain of Rocks Bridge

The Madison County trail system consists of more than 135 miles of Class 1 bikeways. Here’s what to know about the trail projects in Edwardsville, Collinsville and nearby.

The new park includes gated entrances and protected trails and parking. Starting Sunday, it will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 30 minutes after sunset.

If not repaired, the aging bridge, the only connection to Choteau Island for vehicles, could be further shuttered to the dismay of farmers, utility providers and government agencies.

The potential project could bring the city’s first marina to the north St. Louis riverfront. It would also add a hotel, waterpark and indoor trampoline park to a 70-acre plot of land north of Interstate 270, just within city limits.

On Monday’s "St. Louis on the Air," Sharon Smith of the Missouri Historical Society joined us to discuss the bridge’s history. We also heard from Great Rivers Greenway about big plans for the site.
