The bridge has been designed, public hearings have been held, and funding has been arranged. Construction is well underway with superstructure built for the bridge’s approach ramps and additional superstructure being built over the river itself. Now it is time to begin creating the surface structure. Join us live from the construction site of the new bridge going over the Missouri River at Glasgow, Missouri.

What are the steps in creating the surface structure? What materials are used? How is the structure welded together? How is the surface structure for the bridge connected to the bridge support system? What elements are pre-fabricated and what is created on site? How does the installation occur? What are the careers involved in building a bridge? For the answers to these and other questions, join us for our sixth program in our continuing series of programs produced with the Missouri Department of Transportation as they build a new bridge over the Missouri River at Glasgow, Missouri. Interact with construction personnel as they share how they are bringing the design plans to life.
