A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the completion of the new eastbound and westbound I-270 Chain of Rocks bridges over the Mississippi River, a $496.2 million project jointly funded by Illinois and Missouri. The westbound span is expected to open on November 16, initially carrying two lanes in each direction; work to expand to three lanes each way will continue next construction season.
The added bridge capacity may improve regional freight movement across the Mississippi River, but the story gives no specific feed or agricultural commodity supply impact or price signal.
