Jasper County Route D Bridge Over Center Creek

Jasper County – The Jasper County Route D bridge over Center Creek south of Oronogo will be CLOSED for up to 160 days beginning the week of April 1, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

Contractor crews will replace the old bridge with a new structure, which will be 12 feet higher, 18 feet wider with no truss.

Traffic Impact During Construction:
