The total cost of the new Mississippi River Bridge Project is estimated at $670 Million. It is the equivalent to one-dollar bills laid end to end circulating the equator more than two and a half times.

In August 2004 William Perkins and Russ Reike, members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, gave Rep. Jerry Costello (D-IL) petitions with over 4,000 signatures supporting the naming of the new bridge "Veteran's Memorial Bridge". This effort was supported by U.S. Rep John Simpkus (R-IL) and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn. The Missouri State Legislature voted on Aug. 28, 2005 to name the bridge after Pres. Ronald Regan. At this time, the new bridge does not have an offical name.
