Summary
The Mississippi River bridge at Lansing is set to open in early November—way ahead of its original 2027 deadline—thanks to relentless contractor efforts and favorable weather. After the old bridge was demolished in late 2025, a free ferry carried nearly 131,000 cars through August, proving how vital this crossing is. While the exact opening date isn’t locked in yet, the project’s accelerated timeline is a major win for Iowa and Wisconsin communities—and a tribute to the teams that made it happen.
