I remember hearing a long time ago that the memorial area on each end of the new Liberty Memorial Bridge will contain a chunk of the original historic bridge in addition to the other interpretive features. This may be one of those pieces.

Each memorial area (the Bismarck one is nearing completion now) has an area that would be perfect for a piece like this, which leads me to believe that the placement of the pieces will be the “cherry on top” once the rest of the memorials are finished.

Work continues under the Bismarck side of the bridge, presumably on the park that I heard would be placed there. Just because we drive over the new bridge every day doesn’t mean that it’s finished. I can’t wait to see what the area looks like once all the features of the bridge and its ancillary features are complete!
