Explosions rang out over the Missouri River in September 2023 when the old Rocheport bridge on I-70 was demolished. Fifteen months later, the new I-70 bridge in Columbia is nearly ready for traffic. The bridge is scheduled to fully open to the public later this month, with a ribbon ceremony set for Tuesday. The ceremony was scheduled to accommodate Gov.

Come Tuesday, 15 months later, the Missouri Department of Transportation is prepared to cut some ribbons. A ceremony Tuesday will mark the opening of the second of two new bridges, this one serving eastbound I-70 traffic. The completion means MoDOT will meet its goal of having both bridges open by the end of 2024 while remaining within the $220 million budget.
