Supplying ventures from the magnificent to the mundane, this CHS propane customer delivers dependability, no matter the challenge.

When one of the Interstate 35W bridges in Minneapolis collapsed on Aug. 1, 2007, few local residents expected a replacement to rise out of the rubble in little more than a year. But by Sept. 18 of this year, a bigger, better and more beautiful span had opened for 140,000 vehicles a day crossing the Mississippi River.

The ambitious, schedule-beating project required around-the-clock commitment and tremendous teamwork. Concrete pours for river footings and other core construction occurred during a long Minnesota winter, so dependable suppliers of propane and other heating fuel used for curing were critical team members.
