The Rock Island Swing Bridge was a swing bridge that spaned the Mississippi River between Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota and St. Paul Park, Minnesota. It also is known as the Newport Rail Bridge, as it has a spur to Newport, Minnesota, and J.A.R. bridge. after previous owners Joan and Al Roman of Chicago. It was one of the few double-decker bridges on the Mississippi, with the top level formerly used for railroad traffic and the bottom level formerly used as a road crossing. It also was one of a few toll bridges in Minnesota, and one of the last remaining ones. It closed to rail traffic in 1980, and road traffic in 1999, when the toll was 75 cents. The Boston Globe
