Project Progress
The Missouri Department of Transportation designed a new bridge over Tater Hill Creek on Route Z in Carroll County.
The project was part of MoDOT's Aug. 21, 2020 bid letting where contractors were able to submit competitive bids on construction projects.
The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission awarded a $713,529.45 contract to E & C Bridge, LLC at their Sept. 2, 2020 meeting.
The contractor was given a Sept. 10, 2020 Notice to Proceed, which is the earliest date a contractor can begin work on the project.
The contractor closed the roadway to all traffic and began work on the new bridge construction on Monday, Sept. 21, 2020. The road was reopened to all traffic on Monday, Nov. 23, 2020, ahead of schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why is MoDOT closing the road during construction?
A. Closing the road during the bridge replacement saves taxpayer money by allowing the contractor to work more efficiently. This will result in a shorter construction period.
Q. How long will the road be closed?
A. Through mid-December
Q. What is the detour?
A. A signed detour is not planned.
Q. Why not build a bypass?
A. Based on the cost/benefit ration, building a bypass would not be a prudent use of taxpayer funds. A bypass also could have negative impacts and disruption to private property.
Q. Who can I contact if I have further questions?
A. Questions about the project may be directed to MoDOT Customer Service at 888 ASK MODOT (1-888-275-6636).
