Correction: In an Oct. 6 story about the demolition of the 86-year-old Liberty Memorial Bridge over the Missouri River, The Associated Press, relying on information from state officials, erroneously reported that it was the first permanent span across the river in North Dakota. The state Transportation Department says further research showed that the Northern Pacific Railway Bridge, built in 1882, was the first.
