Rock Island Centennial Bridge
The Centennial Bridge, or Rock Island Centennial Bridge, connects Rock Island, Illinois and Davenport, Iowa.
It opened on July 12, 1940 as a toll bridge. The original toll was $0.05, and eventually rose to $0.50. The tolls were removed from the bridge on May 2, 2003.
The five arches of the bridge are a symbol often used to represent the Quad Cities. John O'Donnell Stadium in Davenport is located just upriver from the bridge.
