About: Government Bridge

An Entity of Type: Swing bridge, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Government Bridge or Arsenal Bridge spans the Mississippi River, connecting Rock Island, Illinois and Davenport, Iowa. The Iowa Interstate Railroad uses the upper deck of the bridge for its ex-Chicago and Rock Island Railroad route between Council Bluffs, Iowa and Chicago, Illinois. The lower deck carries automobile traffic between the two cities. It is located near Upper Mississippi Mile Marker 483, adjacent to the Mississippi River Lock and Dam No. 15. The current structure (which was completed in 1896) is the fourth at this location. The bridges all were built with a swing section to accommodate traffic navigating the river.

  • Die Government Bridge ist eine kombinierte Straßen- und Eisenbahnbrücke über den Mississippi und verbindet Rock Island in Illinois mit Davenport in Iowa. Die Doppelstockbrücke führt zwei Fahrstreifen für den Pkw-Verkehr sowie eine zweigleisige Eisenbahnstrecke. In die Fachwerkbrücke ist vor der Schleuse des Lock and Dam No. 15 eine Drehbrücke integriert, die abhängig von ihrer Stellung entweder den Schiffsverkehr auf dem Mississippi oder den Fahrzeugverkehr auf der Brücke ermöglicht. Die aktuelle Konstruktion ist bereits die vierte an dieser Stelle. (de)
  • The Government Bridge or Arsenal Bridge spans the Mississippi River, connecting Rock Island, Illinois and Davenport, Iowa. The Iowa Interstate Railroad uses the upper deck of the bridge for its ex-Chicago and Rock Island Railroad route between Council Bluffs, Iowa and Chicago, Illinois. The lower deck carries automobile traffic between the two cities. It is located near Upper Mississippi Mile Marker 483, adjacent to the Mississippi River Lock and Dam No. 15. The current structure (which was completed in 1896) is the fourth at this location. The bridges all were built with a swing section to accommodate traffic navigating the river. The first Rock Island Bridge, which was finished in 1856, was the first railroad bridge across the Mississippi. The bridge was 1,582 feet (482 m) long, and the draw-span was 285 feet (87 m). It was located upstream from the current bridge. It was a threat to the South (which sought to create a southern rail route to the Pacific) and to St. Louis, whose steamboats faced competition from Chicago's railroads. The Effie Afton struck the bridge weeks after it opened, and steamboat companies brought lawsuits. It was repaired, but was replaced in 1866 by the a wooden structure in the same location. In 1868, the second bridge was damaged by an ice storm and a tornado; however, construction crews repaired and reopened the bridge. It was replaced in 1872 by a twin double-deck bridge. The third bridge, 366 ft (112 m) long, was built downstream near the Rock Island shore in the present location. During the 1880s, the bridge accommodated horse-drawn trolley cars. Electric trolleys ran on the current bridge until 1940. (en)
  • 政府大桥或阿森纳大桥横跨密西西比河 ，连接伊利诺伊州的罗克艾兰和爱荷华 州的 达文波特 。它位于密西西比河上游标记483附近，毗邻密西西比河15号水坝及船闸 。当前的桥梁（竣工于1896年）是该位置的第四代结构，并包括一个旋转部分，以确保船只的通行。道路层以上的双轨轨道对于桥梁来说并不常见。 最初的桥于1856年完工，是横跨密西西比河的第一座铁路桥。 这座桥长1528英尺（482米），中间桁架跨度为285英尺（87米）。它对试图建立通往太平洋的南方铁路路线的南方 和有着面临芝加哥铁路竞争的轮船的圣路易斯造成威胁。 开业几周后埃菲·阿夫顿 （ Effie Afton）就撞上了桥，而汽船公司提起了诉讼。1866年被木桥代替。 1868年，第二座桥梁被一场冰暴和龙卷风破坏；但是，施工人员修理并重新开放了这座桥。1872年，它被一对双层桥取代。第三座桥366英尺（112米）长，在岩岛岸边附近。在1880年代，这座桥上使用了有轨马车；电车一直在目前的桥上行驶，直到1940年。 (zh)
