MARIES COUNTY – The Missouri Department of Transportation is requesting public feedback regarding the rehabilitation of the Maries County Route N bridge over Rodgers Creek, east of Brinktown.
The existing Rodgers Creek bridge was built in 1967 and is 53-years-old. The condition of the bridge has reached a point where the bridge girders and deck must be replaced.
During construction, Route N will be closed at the bridge for up to three months. Motorists will be encouraged to use an alternate route.
The project will be completed by a contractor for MoDOT and is scheduled to be opened to bids in the fall of 2020. Construction will take place in 2021.
This bridge is included in Gov. Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.
Motorists and area residents are encouraged to provide feedback and comments on this project. Visit modot.org/rodgerscreekbridge. The online public comment period will run from May 15 - 29.
