All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty bridge together again ... so Hannibal will get a new bridge.

HANNIBAL, MO. -- It looks like what Hannibal residents know as the Humpty Dumpty bridge on Lindell Avenue will be replaced.
The Hannibal City Council has approved a measure to replace the old bridge.
The plan is to replace the old bridge with a culvert type design and structure.
Current steel supports under the bridge are rusting and could pose a safety hazard.
It's not known how long the project will take.
