The Vantage Bridge as seen from the Wildhorse Monument above I-90. The bridge will effectively be replaced over the next few years as work to expand and improve the major traffic way is conducted. Travelers should expect delays in the area and may want to consider alternate routes from one side of the state to the other during construction.
