St. Joseph, Mo. – The bridge on Harrison County Route EE over Panther Creek, near New Hampton, will soon receive a new deck. Contractors from Emery Sapp & Sons., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, will begin the bridge deck replacement project on Monday, March 22. 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.
The road will close to all traffic on March 22 and is scheduled to remain closed through late April. During the closure, motorists will need to 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 roadways are NO PHONE zones. Buckle up. Phone down. Arrive Alive.
