When crossing this bridge with toddlers in the backseat, teach them to say",Ugly Bridge, Ugly Bridge, Ugly Bridge!"

I don't know which is worse, the fact that MoDOT is trying to disagree with people who say this bridge is BORING or that MoDOT actually is wasting tax dollars putting decorative lighting on this UGLY SLAB OF CONCRETE.
