ST. JOSEPH, Mo – Three bridges on U.S. Route 24 will soon narrow for rehabilitation. The bridges are part of a larger project in Carroll County which will improve seven bridges on U.S. Route 24 near Carrollton. The Missouri Department of Transportation contracted with Capital Paving and Construction, LLC to complete the project.
Beginning Monday, Feb. 27 and continuing through the end of June, the following bridges will be narrowed to one lane in each direction:
- U.S. Route 24 (Benton Street) over U.S. Route 65
- The northbound and southbound U.S. Route 24/65 bridges over Old U.S. Highway 24/Outer Road 24 and the BNSF railroad, located just south of the Benton Street Bridge
Crews will be working five days each week, but work zones will remain in place around-the-clock. Some work may be completed on Saturdays, if necessary.
Two bridges in the bundle have already been rehabilitated:
- U.S. Route 24 over the Norfolk Southern Railroad, Outer Road 24 and Missouri 10
- U.S. Route 24/65 over Moss Creek Drainage Ditch, approximately 4 miles south of Route 10
The two remaining bridges in the project will be completed in 2023:
- U.S. Route 24 over BNSF Railroad just east of the U.S. Route 65 interchange
- U.S. Route 24 over Little Wakenda Creek east of Carrollton
All work is weather dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
