A Bridge So Far - Part Four

Work continues on the Buck O'Neill Bridge which will be opened in October 2024.  This weekend several roads were closed including I70 West by Downtown so that the existing ramp from I70 to I35 could be removed. Above, is the view looking west from Third and Broadway on the westside of the City Market.  Below are two views of what the finished product will look like.  ( courtesy MoDot)

Scarritt Home Renovation Completed

 

Two and a half years worth of work is finished.  The craftsmanship is amazing.  Here is a link to an update I did earlier.   https://hyperblogal.blogspot.com/2021/06/update-on-bishop-hendrix-home-annie.html

Here are some before and after photos.  The home had been subdivided into apartments.
