PRINCETON, Mo. – The Muddy Creek Bridge on U.S. Route 136 has been closed for replacement since October 2017. The contractors from Boone Construction Company of Columbia, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, have continued working through the cold, snow and ice all winter to replace the original bridge that was built in 1929.
And now, the end is in sight. The contractors are in the final stages and could have the bridge open as early as next week, if the weather and equipment holds.
The new bridge, located two miles east of U.S. Route 65, is on the same alignment as the old bridge and is 32 feet wide with four-foot shoulders.
As with all projects, schedules are weather dependent and subject to change.
