Input was especially important about the timing of the planned 45-day closure of the roadway for the project. The closure window had not yet been determined and the project team welcomed and is now analyzing and considering all input from stakeholders about that issue and other aspects of the project.

Below are the exhibits and materials that were used and presented at the Sept. 28, 2023, public meeting regarding the proposed replacement of the Dent County Route 19 bridge over Standing Rock Creek. This included a proposed 45-day closure of the roadway with a signed detour.
Since the time of that meeting, the design team has developed a new plan that will allow the roadway to remain open during construction.
Details about the new plan can be found HERE.
