Rocheport

Some would disagree, but I'm convinced there's no better life in America than being in a small town. One tiny Missouri place was just given quite an honor being declared the 6th best small town in America.

The Missouri Department of Transportation detonated the truss of the old Rocheport Bridge on Interstate 70 on Sunday, September 10, 2023. Watch the video here.

Two Missouri towns, Rocheport and Saint Genevieve, made a list of the best towns in America with less than 10,000 residents.

The old Rocheport Bridge which carried people across the Missouri River on Interstate 70 is set for demolition Sunday, September 10, and you can watch it.

There's no place in Missouri quite like it. Despite the fact that only 239 people officially call it home (according to last census), it's small size didn't stop it from being named the 6th best small town in America.

A multi-vehicle crash that occurred in the westbound lanes of the Rocheport Bridge around 10:22 a.m., Tuesday morning closed I-70

The State of Missouri was awarded an $81 million dollar Rebuilding America grant to rebuild the I-70 Rocheport bridge.

MoDOT Project Manager Melissa Wilbers says "three to eight-hour backups are possible" when MoDOT begins a massive refurbishment of the I-70 Rocheport bridge.

The Rocheport Area Merchants Association says Rocheport is looking for volunteers to help sandbag the town, Wednesday May 22, according to their Facebook page.
