"MoDOT Successfully Demolishes Historic Rocheport Bridge Over Missouri River"

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has successfully detonated the old I-70 Rocheport Bridge as part of its demolition plan. The bridge, which had been in service for over 60 years, was deemed structurally deficient and in need of replacement. The controlled explosion was carried out to ensure the safety of workers and minimize disruption to traffic. MoDOT will now focus on the construction of a new bridge to improve transportation infrastructure in the area.
