Stone County – Stone County Route V at Goff Creek west of Ponce de Leon will CLOSE on Tuesday, May 1, to allow contractor crews to replace the aging bridge, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Route V at the Goff Creek bridge could remain closed until late August.
While crews are replacing the bridge, drivers must find an alternate route around the project. No formal signed detour is planned. Drivers will have access to driveways and other entrances on either side of the bridge, but will not be able to travel through the work zone.
The new bridge will be 24-feet wide. The existing bridge, built in 1952, is 20 feet wide.
The prime contractor for the project is Hartman and Company of Springfield.
The project completion date is August 31, 2018.
The estimated total project cost is $919,000.
