Chateau d If:
I slide all the way up the Mississippi using Google map and only found that one four-laner in Cincinnati.
Slowhatch:
If you have broadband, Google Earth is faster; you can zoom into a city and eliminate its bridges in a couple of minutes (once I find a possible match, I do a Google image search--"X City skyline"--to doublecheck). I've been all over the Mississippi-Missouri system with no luck so far. Also fwiw it looks like there's a small sandbar or island just offshore (or maybe it's just the camera angle).
gingerman28:
Last time I looked Cinncinatti was still on the Ohio River.
There are 47 bridges listed as crossing the Mississippi. Those other cantilevered bridges (i. e. Outerbridge Crossing between New York and New Jersey) look similar to the one in the vidcap, but no River Boat gamblers in this neck of the woods.
Chateau d If:
Thanks GMan, I wasn't really paying attention!
Don't they all connect somewhere! I'm in California.
I tried the Google Earth on the Cincin bridge. Google's resolution there isn't so good (compared to Global's). But when I went into tilt mode to get the camera angle toward downtown it became clear that this is not the right bridge. Google Earth showed that there a tall bank to the river that would hide any view of downtown.
So search on.
