The bridge was also used at the 69th street bridge in John Carpenter’s Escape From New York (1981) for the scene where Issac Hayes (Duke of NY) was chasing Kurt Russell ( Snake Plissken) and Donald Pleasance ( The President). One of the greatest action/ Scifi movies of all time was filmed in St. Louis !
