Updated: January 23, 2013
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill says she has the perfect name for the new bridge across the Mississippi River - The Stan Musial Memorial Bridge. 

The bridge under construction currently between Missouri and Illinois will carry I-70 across the river. 

McCaskill took to the floor of the Senate today (Wednesday) to recall Musial's life and to introduce legislation to name the bridge.

Musial passed away last Saturday at the age of 92. 

Visitation will be this Thursday afternoon at the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica, with funeral services there Saturday morning.
