Missouri Department of Transportation says Miami River Bridge will fall Thursday.
Explosives will be used to partially demolish the Miami River Bridge later this week. Explosive charges will be strategically placed along sections of the bridge to maximize clearance of the steel structure without damaging the concrete piers. The piers will be used to support the new bridge once constructed, MoDOT officials said.
Last year explosive charges were used successfully in the demolition of the Glasgow River Bridge, which was a project nearly identical to the Miami Bridge project.
