JEFFERSON CITY - At its regular monthly meeting this week, the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission approved a contract for two bridge projects near Blackwater in Cooper County.
Lehman Construction was awarded the contract to replace the deck of the 55 year-old Route K bridge over the Blackwater River, and to replace the 68 year-old Route DD bridge over Flat Creek. The contractor submitted the low bid of $2,119,669.
Both bridges are included in Governor Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.
A start date for work on each bridge has not yet been established. MoDOT will alert the public with updates through signs, news releases and social media once a start date has been determined.
For more information about these projects or other transportation-related matters, please call 1-888-ASK-MoDOT (275-6636) or visit www.modot.org/central. Follow the MoDOT Central Missouri District on Facebook and Twitter for project updates.
