A $9 billion bill in Congress that could improve waterway navigation and water systems in Missouri is a step closer to being signed into law.

The Senate passed its version of the bill earlier last month. The Water Resources Development Act, authorized every two years, gives the green light to the Army Corps of Engineers to improve navigation, water quality and work on other water projects.
