A natural gas pipeline that stretches for almost 1,700 miles and runs through the Hannibal region has been completed.
The Rockies Express pipeline became fully operational Nov. 12 with the completion of the final 195-mile section between Warren and Monroe counties in eastern Ohio.
The $6.8 billion pipeline starts in Colorado and carries 1.8 billion cubic feet of gas.
It took three years to complete and runs through parts of Audrain, Ralls and Pike counties in Missouri and Pike County in Illinois.
Rockies Express is a joint venture of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, Sempra Pipelines and Storage, and ConocoPhillips.
It is one of the largest natural gas pipelines to be built in North America.
