摘要：	A well-known river cleanup and environmental advocacy organization is taking on a mission to convert an old interstate bridge into a unique park for bison crossing over the Mississippi River. Chad Pregracke, president and founder of Living Lands and Waters, has had the dream for more than 20 years of converting the Interstate 80 bridge crossing the Mississippi River in the Quad Cities into an up-close viewing area for bison, sometimes called buffalo. The four-lane, steel-girder Fred Schwengel Memorial Bridge connects LeClaire, Iowa, and Rapids City, Ill., at Upper Mississippi River Mile 495.4. It opened in 1966. The bridge is currently slated to be demolished once a new bridge is open. The first phase of engineering by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for potential bridge replacement is underway, so efforts to support the Bison Bridge project are ramping up.
