Project Progress
MoDOT's Planning and Design teams plan to replace both the Turkey Creek and Lost Creek bridges with wider, safer, bridges that are up to current safety standards.
The contract for the bridge replacement projects was part of the March 2022 letting when contractors submitted competitive bids on the projects. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission awarded the $1,466,527.38 contract to replace both bridges to Mera Excavating, LLC at their April 2022 meeting. The gave the contractor a May 4, 2022 notice to proceed date. This is the earliest date the contractor could begin work.
Contractors began work on the Turkey Creek Bridge on May 4, 2022. They have 95 days, by contract, to complete the bridge replacement over Turkey Creek. The contractor was able to reopen the bridge to all traffic on Aug. 17, 2022.
The Lost Creek Bridge closed on Monday, Jan. 30, 2023, and is expected to reopen at the end of April 2023.
