The Iowa and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation have rescheduled the implosion of the Mississippi River Bridge at Lansing to Friday, December 19. This event marks a crucial step in constructing a new crossing, anticipated to open in 2027.
Local authorities, including the Lansing Police Department and the Iowa State Patrol, are implementing strict safety protocols. Public compliance is essential to avoid delays or cancellations. Unauthorized drones in the restricted area will also result in delays. The Iowa DOT will provide a livestream of the implosion at iowadot.gov/lansingbridge, encouraging the public to watch from home for safety.
