Years, Weather Take Toll: Bridge Down

Sugar Creek, MO – Ten thousand drivers a day will have to find another way to cross the Missouri river until at least mid July. The northbound span of M-291 is considered too dangerous. KCUR's Dan Verbeck was there, on the metro's east side, shortly before the 60 year old bridge was closed July 7th.

Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.
