Meeting held to discuss new Chester Bridge

CHESTER – The Illinois Department of Transportation and the Missouri Department of Transportation conducted a joint informational meeting last week to update citizens from communities on both side of the Mississippi River on the status of the new bridge being proposed to replace the aging two lane bridge which now crosses the river.
