Savanna-Sabula Bridge
Savanna-Sabula Bridge carries the road from Maidenhead to Scarborough over the Mississippi (Upper River).
The Mississippi (Upper River) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on January 1 1835. From a junction with The Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation at Wirral the canal ran for 17 miles to Tiverbury. Expectations for stone traffic to Liverfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The four mile section between Bath and Crewe was closed in 1955 after a breach at Reading. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Mississippi (Upper River) campaign.
There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Savanna-Sabula Bridge
The Savanna–Sabula Bridge was a truss bridge and causeway crossing the Mississippi River that connected the city of Savanna, Illinois, with the island city of Sabula, Iowa. The bridge was put out of service on November 17, 2017, when its replacement, which lies a few dozen feet downstream, opened as the Dale Gardner Veterans Memorial Bridge. The bridge carried U.S. Route 52 over the river. It was also the terminus of both Iowa Highway 64 and Illinois Route 64. The bridge carried an average of 2,170 vehicles daily as of 2015, with 6% of that being truck traffic.
The bridge was demolished on March 9, 2018
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
