MoDOT: Southbound Missouri Route 265 Lane Closure South of Stone County Route AA Near Galena

Week of May 17

Stone County – Drivers can expect one-lane traffic on Missouri Route 265 south of Stone County Route AA near Galena when a project to replace a bridge on Private Drive over Pine Run Creek begins the week of May 17, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

The bridge replacement adjacent to Route 265 will require the southbound lane of Route 265 to be closed for up to three months to allow contractors crews to replace the bridge and stage equipment and materials. During the project, drivers can expect one-lane traffic on northbound Route 265 with temporary traffic signals regulating traffic flow.

Traffic Impacts:

  • Route 265 southbound lane CLOSED between Route AA and Old Miller Road near Galena
  • Route 265 northbound lane open with temporary traffic signals and a 10-foot width restriction
  • Temporary traffic barriers installed to protect crews and traffic
  • Drivers urged to find alternate routes. No signed detours are planned.
  • Signs and message boards will alert drivers to the closure

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.

Weather and/or construction delays could alter the work schedule.

Project information

  • Contractor: Widel Inc., Blackwater
  • Completion date: December 1, 2021 (Contractor plans to be completed by mid-July)
  • Estimated total cost: $197,999
