How long is the Crescent Bridge?

This steel truss railroad bridge is called the Crescent Bridge because of the graceful curve it strikes as it extends outward over the river from the Rock Island. It was opened on January 6, 1900, just three years after the completion of the other railroad bridge in the Quad Cities, the Government Bridge, located about a mile and a half upstream from here.
