PULASKI COUNTY – The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is advising local residents that there will be traffic impacts on a Pulaski County road for the next several months during a bridge rehabilitation project.
The forty-nine year-old Route T bridge over the Gasconade River, between Swedeborg and Waynesville, has reached a point where it is necessary to rehabilitate the bridge deck, make bridge barrier improvements, increase bridge pier protection, rehabilitate other bridge components, and improve roadway safety at both ends of the bridge.
On Thursday, June 24, a contractor working for MoDOT will begin removing the surface material from the bridge deck requiring a lane closure on Route T at the bridge. Flaggers will guide motorists through the work zone.
Once that work is complete, crews will begin installing temporary signals at the bridge on Friday, June 25. These temporary signals will remain at the bridge guiding traffic for approximately five months until construction is complete.
This work is weather permitting and could be delayed. For more information and updates about this project or other transportation-related matters, please call 1-888-ASK-MoDOT (275-6636) or visit modot.org/PulaskiRouteTBridgeRehab.
