Ames is proud to celebrate the opening of the Don Welge Memorial Bridge
This milestone reflects years of collaboration, careful planning, and hard work. Connecting Illinois and Missouri across the Mississippi River, the bridge is a lasting investment in the region and a testament to what strong partnerships can achieve.
👏 Congratulations and thank you to our crews and partners who helped bring this landmark project to life.
“Several members of the project moved their families into your communities and will leave with friends and memories beyond the bridge itself. You embraced our presence and were instrumental in the success of the project.
The Ames team and the Illinois and Missouri DOTs collaborated well over the last three years, solving challenges, maintaining the schedule, and ensuring a high-quality bridge was delivered to the communities who will use it for years to come,” said Mitch Johnson, Ames Construction Project Manager.
