Quincy to push Fabius bridge plan with Missouri officials
A delegation of 25 business leaders from the Chamber of Commerce and Retail Merchants' Association will travel to Hannibal Thursday at 2 PM for a conference with the Marion county court and discuss rebuilding the North Fabius bridge at Taylor and funding. Representatives from Hannibal, Taylor, and the Fabius Drainage District will attend as the meeting seeks cost sharing and to preserve Quincy’s trade ties with northern Missouri. The current ford and corduroy road are dangerous and impede automobile passage, prompting renewed efforts to restore the bridge and maintain regional commerce.
