Session Description:
Living Lands & Waters, a newly formed foundation, unveiled conceptual plans for repurposing the Interstate 80 Bridge over the Mississippi River. The plan calls for the bridge to be turned into a wildlife crossing and pedestrian parkway called BISON BRIDGE. The concept is like no other currently in the United States. It’s a land bridge, consisting of a wildlife and recreational crossing connecting the Illinois and Iowa riverfronts on the Mississippi River.
