Chester Bridge Work Continues

Perryville, Mo. (KFMO) - Work on the Chester Bridge, which is now the Don Welge Memorial Bridge, continues.

Area Engineer with the Missouri Department of Transportation, Chris Crocker, says even though they're still on schedule with construction it has been challenging with our recent rains.

According to Crocker, a dry spot on the Missouri side is allowing crews to prepare concrete panels ahead of time. Those will be placed on the bridge when waters recede.
