New Lansing Mississippi River bridge opens to traffic

LANSING — Lansing residents no longer have to catch a ferry or drive for miles to cross the Mississippi River into Wisconsin. Iowa Department of Transportation Director Scott Marler joined his counterpart from Wisconsin to cut the ribbon to open up the new bridge between the two states at Lansing. He says there were a couple of things that allowed them to open way ahead of the original schedule. “Our contractor, Kraemer North America, just did amazing work, 24/7 operations until it was done. And then we also had a good stretch of weather this past year that really helped us dial it in tight. So you put those together. Here we are, five months ahead of schedule, and just in time before the hard part of winter hits,” Marler says.
