Zack Bergfeld performs electrical work on the Gateway Sign on Thursday morning, Jan. 12, in downtown Cape Girardeau. The 20-foot high sign was partially funded by the Downtown Cape Girardeau Community Improvement District. People heading toward Main Street from the west will see the sign read "Mississippi River", while those traveling the opposite direction will see "Cape Girardeau".Nathan English
