OREGON, Mo. – After closing in early March for a deck replacement project, a Holt County bridge is now open. The Missouri Department of Transportation contracted with Phillips Hardy, Inc. to replace the bridge decks on four bridges in Northwest Missouri beginning with the Holt County Route T bridge over Spring Branch near Oregon. Crews were able to reopen the Spring Branch Bridge over the weekend, ahead of their mid-May schedule.
The following bridges are also included in this deck replacement project:
- Atchison County Route U bridge near Phelps City - under construction. Completion expected in mid-May
- Holt County Route H bridge over Nichols Creek south of New Point – will close Monday, May 11
- Holt County Route T bridge over Easter Creek near Oregon - may begin in early to mid-June
These bridges are included in Gov. Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.
