BETHANY, Mo. – Concrete needs time to cure and sometimes the cure time is extended due to factors such as weather. This is the case on the Route H bridge over Interstate 35 at Exit 84. Local maintenance crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation have been working on a concrete replacement project at the overpass and in order to get a good cure on the concrete, they will leave the bridge closed tonight. While they hope to be able to reopen the bridge tomorrow, should the concrete need additional time, they could leave it closed again tomorrow night. Motorists should use an alternate route during the closure.
For more information about the closure, please call check our Traveler Information Map at traveler.modot.org or call us at 1-888-ASK-MODOT (1-888-275-6636). In addition, MoDOT provides updated information on Twitter @MoDOTNorthwest and Facebook at www.facebook.com/MoDOTNWDistrict.
