LANSING, Iowa – Iowa highway authorities re-opened the Lansing bridge over the Mississippi River to Wisconsin after two months out of order. The bridge now sits on piers that were pounded 100 feet into river-bottom bedrock. The original piers – only 40 feet deep — had been shaken out of place by construction vubrations from a replacement bridge beubgbuilt a few yards away. The replacement bridge is due for completion in 2027.
