PHELPS CITY, Mo. – After beginning construction in early March for a deck replacement project, an Atchison County bridge is now complete. The Missouri Department of Transportation contracted with Phillips Hardy, Inc. to replace the bridge decks on four bridges in Northwest Missouri. After closing in early March, crews completed the Atchison County Route U bridge over a drainage ditch near Phelps City yesterday afternoon. The roadway will remain closed due to damage sustained during the spring 2019 flooding.
The following bridges are also included in this project:
- Holt County Route T bridge over Spring Branch – complete
- Atchison County Route U bridge near Phelps City – complete
- Holt County Route H – currently under construction. The bridge is expected to be completed in late June.
- Holt County Route T bridge over Easter Creek near Oregon – scheduled to close on Monday, June 15.
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.
Drivers are urged to stay alert and pay attention to all roadway signing and barricades.
