The bridge was scheduled to be reopened again for good at 9:00 pm that day.〔http://www.ksdk.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=126660〕 As of the summer of 2009 the bridge was open and operating normally. The bridge is scheduled to be replaced by a new bridge with construction of the new bridge beginning in 2016. The old bridge will remain open during construction of the new span, located just west of the current bridge. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Washington Bridge (Washington, Missouri)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
