OREGON, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Transportation has contracted with Phillips Hardy, Inc. to replace the decks on four bridges in Northwest Missouri. The closure of the bridge over Nichols Creek on Holt County Route H, just south of New Point, has been delayed due to the weather. Contractors now plan to close the bridge to all traffic on Monday, May 18, instead of May 11. The bridge is expected to reopen in late June.
- Holt County Route T bridge over Spring Branch - complete
- Atchison County Route U bridge near Phelps City - under construction. Completion expected in mid-May
- 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.
All work and schedules are weather permitting. During each closure, motorists must use an alternate route. Drivers are urged to stay alert and pay attention to all roadway signing and barricades.
All work is weather-permitting and schedules are subject to change. Please remember that all work zones are No Phone zones. Buckle up. Phone down. Arrive Alive.
