- THE EADS BRIDGE -- In crossing the river from the Missouri to the Illinois shore the tornado tore away some 300 feet of superstructure of the Eads Bridge. This magnificent structure took five years to complete and cost $10,000,000. It was designed and erected by Capt. J. B. Eads, and is one of the strongest bridges in the world. Some of the stone blocks were hurled several hundred feet, and a wagon which was on the bridge was dashed to pieces with its two occupants.
