COOPER COUNTY – Work to rehabilitate the Missouri River Bridge on U.S. Route 40 in Boonville is scheduled to begin on Monday, June 21.
Route 40 will be open to traffic with a reduced speed limit and temporary striping to guide traffic through the work area. Work will take place between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. and should be completed in September.
The existing bridge was built in 1995 and has reached a point of needing preventative maintenance. This preventative maintenance is necessary in order to get the maximum service life out of the bridge. The work is being done by Capital Paving & Construction, LLC, which submitted the low bid of $1,262,640 for the contract.
Work is weather permitting and could be delayed. For more information about this project or other transportation-related matters, please call 1-888-ASK-MoDOT (275-6636) or visit www.modot.org/central. Follow the MoDOT Central Missouri District on Facebook or Twitter for project updates.
