The Missouri Department of Transportation sets a tentative timetable for completion of a new Mississippi River bridge at Louisiana.

In a press release, officials with MODOT have set what they say is an aggressive goal to have a new Champ Clark Bridge open to traffic by November 1st, 2019.

Officials say the design-build process that will be followed to construct the new bridge should take less time than the traditional design methods.

Anyone interested in keeping tabs on progress on the new bridge can go to www.champclarkbridge.com, or can subscribe to email and text alerts.
