Wrap: Republican Senator Gary Romine threw a curveball at a bill to name the new I-70 bridge after "Stan the Man," but the Senate kept its eye on the ball and gave its final approval.  

The bridge would still be named after Musial, but the roadway would be named for Andy Gammon, a carpenter who died while working on the bridge.

St. Louis City Democrat Joseph Keaveny says supporters did not include or update North City Democrats whose districts include the roadway.  

Romine issued an apology, won approval for his changes, and the Senate will soon take a final vote on the bill.

Wrap: Republican Senator Gary Romine won approval for Andy Gammon to be remembered on the same bridge he died building.

Gammon was a carpenter and fell to his death last March while working on the new I-70 bridge, which some lawmakers have tried to name after Stan Musial since his death.

So Romine proposed a change, keeping the Cardinal great's name on the bridge, while naming the roadway across it after Gammon.

St. Louis County Democrat Gina Walsh felt a connection to Gammon's memory.

The Senate adopted Romine's change and will soon take a final vote on the measure.

Wrap: The Missouri Senate gave preliminary approval to a bill to name the new I-70 bridge after Stan "The Man" Musial but it will also bear the name of Andy Gammon.

Gammon fell to his death last March while working on the bridge and Farmington Senator Gary Romine has changed the bill to name the roadway across the bridge after the former carpenter.

Democratic St. Louis County Senator Gina Walsh thanked Romine for bringing the change to the floor.

Some St. Louis City Democrats say they were not consulted even though the project is in their district.

But Romine apologized and won approval for his change.
