How are all the elements of a mammoth construction process like a bridge over the Missouri River brought together? It takes the hard work of a great collaboration of people from diverse careers. Explore the careers of those who work in the bridge construction industry as you interact with the people constructing a new bridge over the Missouri River at Glasgow, Missouri. Find out what it’s like to design a bridge, work with computer software, weld steel girders together, pour concrete, build new bridge piers, operate a crane, or run the barge that keeps vehicle traffic flowing while the bridge is closed for construction. See construction as it happens. View pictures and video of construction done earlier this year. And ask your questions of the people who work daily designing and building bridges.

Join us live from the construction site of the new bridge going over the Missouri River at Glasgow, Missouri for our eighth program in our continuing series of programs produced with the Missouri Department of Transportation.
