MOUND CITY, Mo. – Plans are underway to replace the deck of a bridge on Interstate 29 near Craig. The Missouri Department of Transportation is hosting both an online and phone-in public meeting to gather community feedback regarding the planned deck replacement of the I-29 bridge over U.S. Route 59 at Exit 92 (Craig). During much of the construction of the new bridge deck, U.S. Route 59 under the bridge will be closed. I-29 will remain open as construction will be staged with traffic head-to-head in the open lanes.
The project is currently scheduled to be let for contractor bidding in October 2021 and would most likely be constructed during the 2022 construction season. The bridge is included in Gov. Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.
The online public meeting with information regarding the project timeline, plans and planned signed detour route can be found at: https://www.modot.org/holt-county-i-29-bridge-deck-replacement-over-us-route-59. A comment form at the bottom of the webpage will be active through Oct. 5, 2020, to gather comments, questions and signups for project-specific updates via email.
In addition to the project webpage, a MoDOT project expert will be available to answer questions and receive community feedback during two call-in sessions:
- Tuesday, Sept. 29, from 10 a.m. to noon
- Thursday, Oct. 1, from 4 to 6 p.m.
To participate in the phone-in public meeting, call 816-387-2411
and the project expert will be able to answer questions and record any input you may have. If directed to voicemail, please try calling back again or leave a message with your contact information and our project expert will return your phone call.
