The Martin Luther King bridge connecting East St. Louis to St. Louis is set to reopen after being closed for construction.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the bridge crossing the Mississippi River is scheduled to reopen to traffic the week of Dec. 21. The bridge has been closed since July 20 for a $15.9 million reconstruction project, which included removal of its deck, steel structural repairs and painting.  

The bridge was set to tentatively close from July 6 through Nov. 24, with the timeline contingent on all westbound lanes of the Poplar Street bridge being reopened. But that was delayed by rainy weather.
