Bridge Improvements in New Madrid County
The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission is planning to replace a bridge on Route U, located approximately .25 miles east of County Road 725 in New Madrid County, Mo. The Route U project involves replacing the bridge over Dry Run Ditch.
The project is expected to be awarded to a contractor in early Dec. 2016. Construction could begin as early as summer 2017. As construction is underway, Route U will be closed to through traffic in the vicinity of the bridge.
Maps, plans, and other information prepared by the Missouri Department of Transportation, or interested agency, will be available for public inspection and copying at the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Sikeston District office, 2675 N. Main Street, Sikeston, MO 63801.
Any person affected by this project may request that a public hearing be held in regard to the proposed improvements. Requests for a public hearing shall be in writing and must be submitted to the District Engineer at P.O. Box 160, Sikeston, MO 63801, by Dec. 23, 2016.
