I-20 Bridge over Mississippi River at Vicksburg, MS

(Bridge Hunter; Historic Bridges; John A. Weeks III, the eastern two piers have moved 4" laterally; Satellite)

The main span is 870' long. John Weeks calls it a continuous truss, but Bridge Hunter calls it a cantilevered truss. It is too young for Historic Bridges to cover. Since the National Bridge Inventory calls it continuous, I'm going to agree with John in terms of labelling this post "bridgeContinuous."

In the last week [middle of Apr 2024] the Mississippi River at Vicksburg has risen 15 feet. 

These bridges are a challenge to the best of River Pilots when it rises like this. 

Here on a beautiful Sunday morning sunrise 🌅, American River Transportation’s Company’s M/V CRIMSON GEM successfully navigates them.
