Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

“This phase will allow visitors and towns-people to get on the bridge,” Katy Bridge Coalition member Paula Shannon said. “They will finally get to see the beginnings of the energy that has been poured in making this project a reality.”

The City of Boonville, which has ownership of the bridge is glad to see progress, especially after years of negotiating with Union Pacific. . . .

Phase one, which will complete the first southern span, when completed, will allow visitors to go out on the bridge up to the lift span. The hope, in the near future, is to have a fully operational bridge where people can walk or bike across it.
