Contractors working for the Missouri Department of Transportation have completed the majority of a project to put a new deck on the Missouri Route 52 bridge over U.S. Route 54 in Eldon. The project also includes installing intersection lighting at the Route 54/52 interchange.
Route 52 was fully opened to traffic on Sept. 30, with all traffic control devices removed. Periodic lane closures will be necessary in the eastbound and westbound lanes of Route 54 to paint the bridge. That is scheduled for completion on Friday, Oct. 6, but could extend into the following week depending on weather.
