ST. JOSEPH, Mo – Two bridges on Carroll County U.S. Route 24/65 currently under construction south of Carrollton will undergo a traffic shift tomorrow. Both bridges are part of a seven-bridge rehabilitation project for which the Missouri Department of Transportation has contracted with Capital Paving and Construction, LLC.
In August, both Moss Creek Drainage Ditch Bridge, located approximately 4 miles south of Missouri Route 10, and the bridge over Missouri Route 10, Outer Road 24 and the Norfolk Southern Railroad were narrowed to one lane with temporary traffic signals directing motorists through the work zones.
With one half of each bridge complete, traffic will be shifted to allow crews to complete the rehabilitation of the other half of the bridges. Traffic at both bridges will move to the newly completed side with temporary traffic signals continuing to direct motorists through the work zone.
The traffic shifts will begin at 8 a.m. tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 9, and should be complete by 4 p.m. the same day. During the shift, barricades will be moved from one side of the road to the other and traffic may be stopped briefly. Motorists should expect delays.
These single-lane work zones, as well as the closure of the ramp from Route 10 to northbound U.S. Route 24/65, are expected to remain in place through the end of the project, which is expected to continue through early December 2022.
Crews will continue to work five days each week, but work zones and the ramp closure will remain in place around-the-clock. Some work may be completed on Saturdays, if necessary.
The other bridges in the project are currently scheduled for the 2023 construction season. For more information about the bridges included in the project, visit www.modot.org/carroll-county-us-route-24-bridge-rehabilitations.
All work is weather dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
