LIVONIA, Mo. – The U.S. Route 136 bridge over the Brush Creek has been a pathway for Putnam County motorists since 1966 and is in need of repair. A bridge deck replacement project will be led by contractors from Chester Bross Construction Company, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation. Crews plan to close the bridge Monday, Aug. 26, with a planned reopening in late November.
Motorists will be directed around the closure by a signed detour from Route 5 at Unionville south to Route 6 at Milan and then north on U.S. Route 63. All work is weather permitting and schedules are subject to change.
MoDOT encourages all motorists to slow down, buckle up, eliminate distractions and drive safely to ensure everyone is able to Arrive Alive.
