St. Louis has 7 if you include Chain of Rocks canal bridge above the city front.
Chester Il.
Cape Girardeau mo.
Thebes RR bridge at Scott City Mo.
2 near cairo Il.
Booths Point below caruthersville mo.
2 at Memphis, TN
Helena, Ar
Greenville, Ms
Vicksburg, Ms
St. Francisville LA (Audobon bridge? I cant remember the name)
2 at Baton Rouge LA
Sunshine, Gramercy, Luling, Huey P Long, and G.N.O Bridges are all down in the 200ish mile stretch of river from Baton Rouge to the gulf.
Thats 26 by my count in the 1100ish miles from St. Louis to the gulf. I MIGHT have missed one or two in there somewhere that I'm just forgetting, but there must. E just a TON of bridges north of St. Louis. Which makes sense.

Reply to comment by Eroe777 in TIL that the 1980 miles of Alaska’s Yukon River is only crossed by 4 bridges. By comparison, the slightly longer Mississippi River is has more than 132 bridges. by triviafrenzy
