PLATTE COUNTY – The Missouri Department of Transportation will soon begin work on replacing the current Route FF Bridge in Platte County. The bridge, which was built in 1963, is 2.1 miles west of Parkville, MO and 0.1 miles east of Union Chapel Rd.
Crews will close the Route FF Bridge beginning Monday, April 12. It will remain closed until Friday, August 6 for demolition and bridge reconstruction work. Motorists will be detoured onto Route 45. Detour signs and message boards will be in place to direct motorists. All work is weather dependent.
This bridge project is included in Governor Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.
Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones. Not all work zones look alike. Work zones can be moving operations, such as striping, patching or mowing. They can also be short term, temporary lane closures to make quick repairs or remove debris from the roadway.
