Cape Girardeau bridge passes MoDOT inspection

The Mississippi River bridge in Cape Girardeau received a clean bill of health Wednesday.

Crews from Jefferson City were scheduled to continue their inspections until today but finished early. The bridge was restricted to one lane for three days while the inspection was going on, but the traffic should return to normal today.

The bridge in Cape Girardeau was one of five in Southeast Missouri ordered reinspected after problems were discovered earlier this year in bridges at St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo.
