I could see the Ronald Reagan Bridge happening, since Missouri is so Republican (compared to much of the Midwest) and Reagan was born in Illinois. Chicago is one of the most Democratic cities in the country yet the highway through the West Side is named for Eisenhower. I don't like the Reagan Bridge though, either.
Yeah, but he's from way upstate Illinois, and St Clair County never voted for him. It was one of 6 counties in Illinois, which included Cook, not to. Stan Musial is fine. A bridge not named after a person would be cool too. I mean , look at the Golden Gate Bridge.
