The Rock Island Bridge recently reopened as the nation's first entertainment district over a river! Originally a 1905 railroad bridge connecting Kansas City, MO, and Kansas City, KS, it was designed to transport livestock to the city’s thriving stockyards. After decades of inactivity, the 705-foot structure underwent significant renovations. The Belger-Kansas City crew, working with a long-standing customer, played a pivotal role in this transformation, expertly offloading and installing 50,000-pound vaults and lids on both ends of the bridge. Congratulations to the Belger-Kansas City crew on a job well done. Today, this long-awaited destination draws crowds eager to enjoy its restaurants, events, and unique experiences. 🎉Many thanks to our customer for calling on Belger over the years.
