Dec. 29, 2010 – A cold, steady mix of rain and drizzle failed to keep work on the new Mississippi River bridge north of downtown St. Louis from moving forward.
Reporters were given a unique, on-site, first-hand look at the early stages of the construction project Wednesday.

“They’ve been working a 10-hour day shift, a 10-hour night shift six days a week to catch up,” Horn told reporters. “And we’re right where we need to be at this point.”
The 1,500 foot wide span, the 3rd-longest of its kind in the U.S., is scheduled to be completed in early 2014 at a total cost of $640 million.
