New Bridge Opens on Missouri Route 15 North of Memphis

Bridge Over Wyaconda River Now Closed for Replacement

HANNIBAL – The new bridge over Foreman (Gunns) Branch on Missouri Route 15 in Scotland County just north of Memphis opened to traffic yesterday, August 16.  The new bridge is 28 feet wide with three-foot shoulders.  Route 15 closed at the bridge over Wyaconda River north of Route C yesterday, so the contractor can construct a new bridge at that location.
