Go to Choteau Island on the Illinois side. Chouteau Island Illinois 62040 https://maps.app.goo.gl/gMJchsXsbimHr4wx6 The parking on the Missouri side is inaccessible to cars as of this posting.
On the Illinois side of the river there is a large parking lot. Technically there is a parking area on the Missouri side, but it is not a parking lot and it is next to the road.
In Missouri you can not park by the Bridge. We just parked by the entrance on the Missouri side. If you saw my pictures, the red SUV was parkt, but not public entrance.
