SIKESTON-The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission plans to replace a bridge on Route 17 located in Howell County, Missouri.
The Route 17 project involves replacing the bridge over Gunters Creek. This project is located approximately 0.30 miles south of the Route EE intersection—approximately 15 miles south of Mountain View, Mo., and 6 miles northeast of West Plains, Mo.
Construction could begin as early as spring 2018, with letting anticipated in February 2018. As construction is underway, Route 17 will be closed to through traffic in the vicinity of the bridge. Construction is expected to be underway for approximately three months.
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 Regional Office, 3956 E. Main Street, Willow Springs, MO 65793.
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 must be submitted in writing to District Engineer Mark Shelton at P.O. Box 160, Sikeston, MO 63801, by Oct. 18, 2017.
