Project Progress
The Missouri Department of Transportation worked with EFK Moen to design a new bridge over Coal Creek on Harrison County Route V.
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 $768,464.10 contract to Boone Construction Co. at their Sept. 2, 2020 meeting.
The contractors plan to begin work on Monday, Oct. 5, 2020.
The roadway closed on Monday, Oct. 5 and reopened to all traffic on Wednesday, Dec. 23 at noon.
The roadway was reopened on Wednesday, Dec. 23.
By contract, the contractor must have all construction complete on or before Dec. 1, 2021.

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. The duration of the road closure has not yet been determined.
Q. What is the detour?
A. A signed detour is not planned at this time.
Q. Why not build a bypass?
A. Based on the cost/benefit ratio, 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).
