Work on Thompson River Bridge begins tomorrow

St. Joseph, Mo. – The Thompson River Bridge on Route 190, just west of Chillicothe, will narrow beginning tomorrow, Thursday, April 15, for completion of a bridge rehabilitation project. The bridge was rehabilitated last year as part of Gov. Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state. The bridge, which reopened to two-way traffic Dec. 18, 2020, was the 100th bridge in the program to reopen.

There are a few items remaining for the contractor to complete. The contractor, Comanche Construction, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, is scheduled to begin tomorrow. The work is expected to continue through mid-May. A 12-foot width restriction will be in place.

Please remember that all work zones are NO PHONE zones. Buckle up. Phone down. Arrive Alive. Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones.
