That's wild two! Two lane bridges one over the Mississippi and one over the Ohio with massive barges going under them with no dolphins to protect the pillars, makes me nervous just watching the video, lol. You would think we would spend the money to put dolphins around older existing bridges to protect the public and our bridges.

About 60% of the flow in the Mississippi comes from the Ohio River at Cairo, IL Unfortunately much of the nutrient flow comes out of the Ohio River as well. Also, the Ohio River moves about 240 millions of barge cargo annually, much of which travels farther south on the Mississippi.

Cairo IL is perhaps the saddest town I have ever been to in the US. But there you can stand right on a sharp point of shore with the Ohio on the left and the Mississippi on the right, a point so sharp and well defined you can stand with a foot in each river.

Originally the Allegheny, the Ohio and what is now the lower Mississippi was the Ohio River. The Monongahela and the upper Mississippi were tributaries to the Ohio.

Mississippi, breathes life into so many cities, as it flows into tributaries. The tugboat pushing along the large barges, is truly a marvel of Engineering.

Interesting to see the different colors of the rivers. I saw a similar thing in Maine once, greenish river water mixing into bluish ocean water of the Atlantic.

Passed through Cairo, IL, twice. A sad, broken little city, one of the worst and unhappiest towns in America. A one-horse town where the horse is dead.

After you cross the Ohio River from Illinois the first town you encounter in Kentucky is Wickliffe, which sits at the confluence of the two rivers.

This little dog of yours has the life! Heading over to MO at Chester and meandering NW in MO is also neat. A little desolate, but interesting.

I used to live in Ohio but moved to SE Missouri and these sights are now common to me. It's cool to see them displayed in such a nice video!

Hate to say it, but Anna, IL. is similar to what Selma Al. was like. Jim Crow is still a way of life in some places.

Beautiful video! I love the old bridges down there. I wish Cairo still had a classic hotel; seems like a ghost town now.
