Bridge crews continue working on the construction of the new Highway 47 bridge over the Missouri River. This picture was taken Wednesday, Feb. 14, from the Washington side of the river and shows steel girders being set out to Bent 6. Additional girders should be set in the coming weeks. Alberici Constructors Inc. crews began work on the $63 million project in mid-August 2016 after the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission awarded the contract. The project involves building a new 2,560-foot-long bridge just to the west from the existing span, which was completed in 1936.
