The bridge reopened on Sunday, April 13, 2008, after being closed for painting. The bridge was closed for approximately one week while the bridge painting work was performed.

The name of the cemetery to the south of the bridge is the Herculaneum Cemetery established in 1915.

There is cemetery just on the south side of the bridge, on the left (I believe) towards the Mississippi. Any idea what the name of it is? I thought it would be the Joachim Cemetery - but apparently not.
