St. Joseph, Mo. – The bridge on Harrison County Route EE over Panther Creek, near New Hampton, is now open to all traffic. Contractors from Emery Sapp & Sons Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, reopened the bridge to all traffic yesterday afternoon.
The bridge was closed in late March for a replacement project, which brought the bridge and guardrail up to current standards. 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.
MoDOT asks drivers to work with us by always buckling up, keeping your phone down, slowing down and moving over in work zones. Know before you go and check what work zones you might encounter at traveler.modot.org.
Also at modot.org, sign up online for work zone updates. Information is also available 24/7 at 888-ASK-MODOT (275-6636) or via social media.
