St. Joseph, Mo. – A project to repair scour around the piers and abutments of the West Honey Creek Bridge on Mercer County Route E will begin next week. Contractors from Leavenworth Excavating & Equipment Company, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, will close one lane of traffic on Monday, April 12, at the bridge over Honey Creek on Route E, 0.6 miles east of Route Y near Princeton. Work could continue through late April.
Crews plan to work Monday through Friday, daylight hours, though some Saturday work may be required. While workers are present, one lane will be closed with a 10-foot width restriction in the open lane. Traffic will reopen to two lanes each evening.
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. Show-Me Zero.
