The Governor stated that, &quot;We are incredibly proud of the progress that has been made<br />thanks to Focus on Bridges. This program set out to repair or replace 250 bridges across the state. We are now nearing completion of 75 percent of those bridges, and this program’s success has allowed us to leverage hundreds of millions of dollars in additional infrastructure investments in every region of the state.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href='https://www.newstribune.com/news/2021/oct/26/Missouri-River-Bridge-rehabilitation-nearing-compl/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Thumbnail courtesy of News Tribune</a><br /></p>
