Cape Girardeau celebrated its close relationship with the Mississippi River in the 1980s with "Riverfest." Music, food, fireworks and special events brought the community back to the river.

The Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge was dedicated on Dec. 13, 2003 after 15 years of planning and seven years of construction. The bridge was named for the eight-term U.S. Congressman who pushed the legislation to build the modern cable-stayed span. It replaced the first bridge that served the community since 1928.
