Republic Services announced Friday it has completed a new sewer line connecting the Bridgeton Landfill to two Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District treatment plants, cutting down on truck traffic hauling liquid waste from the smoldering landfill.
The landfill operator began the 7.2-mile sewer line project in June. It connects the landfill to MSD’s Coldwater Creek treatment plant in north St. Louis County and its Bissell Point Plant on the north St. Louis riverfront.
