The Eads Bridge Rehabilitation Project began in 2012, the first full-scale rehabilitation of the bridge since its opening in 1874.

During the rehabilitation of the Eads Bridge, crews installed more than 1,167,000 pounds of steel to replace struts, bracing and other support steel that dated back to the 1880s. In addition, more than 7,500 gallons of multiyear anti-corrosion coating was applied to the bridge. In total, crews made about 1,200 structural repairs to the bridge, as well as substantial reconstruction of the concrete that supports the road deck.

This project has extended the life of the Eads Bridge for at least another 75 years.
