Iron Workers, Operating Engineers locals celebrate topping out of eastbound span of I-270 Chain of Rocks Bridge

GREAT TEAMWORK – Talented union members from Iron Workers Locals 396 and 392 and Operating Engineers Locals 513 and 520 recently “topped out” on the Interstate 270 Chain of Rocks Bridge project. The July 21 ceremony, marking the setting of the eastbound brdge, took place on a barge in the middle of the Mississippi River between St. Louis and Madison County, Ill. The new structure is being built directly south of the existing Chain of Rocks Bridge, and is the first of the project’s twin bridges to be built. Work on the westbound span is expected to begin in 2025.   – Iron Workers Local 396 photos
