Excerpt from Wikipedia

The Shawneetown Bridge is a cantilever truss bridge carrying Kentucky Route 56 and Illinois Route 13 across the Ohio River. The bridge connects Old Shawneetown, Illinois to rural Union County, Kentucky. Opened in 1955, it is the only highway bridge over the Ohio between Paducah and Evansville.

The Shawneetown Bridge was featured in a scene in the film U.S. Marshals. The film's crash scene was filmed several miles downstream in Pope County, Illinois.
