A monumental day over the Mississippi

LANSING, Iowa — A red Camaro convertible, top down, led the first vehicles across the new Lansing bridge over the Mississippi River after a ribbon-cutting ceremony. There was special case to celebrate. The $165 million bridge had been completed six months ahead of schedule due mostly to favorable weather. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers drove three hours to Lansing for the occasion. Normal traffic is expected to be 2,500 vehicles a day between Iowa and Wisconsin — the only bridge for 30 miles either way.
