The massive Mill Creek Valley that cuts through the middle of St. Louis used to have MORE crossing years ago than it does nowadays. Why? Because they've slowly fallen apart one by one. The Spring Street Bridge, which could function as a reliever artery for Grand Blvd, sits in a strange sort of limbo, weed covered and truncated, but still standing nonetheless. Too expensive to rebuild, too expensive (or too lazy?) for it to be torn down.
