MARYVILLE, Mo. – Plans are underway to replace two Nodaway County bridges. The Missouri Department of Transportation will host both a virtual and phone-in public meeting to gather community feedback regarding the planned replacements of the U.S. Route 136 Mozingo Creek and Long Branch bridges, located east of Maryville. The projects are currently scheduled to be let for contractor bidding in August 2021.
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.
