ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – A bridge rehabilitation project will begin soon on Buchanan County Route U over Contrary Creek. Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, plans to close Route U to all traffic at the bridge on Feb. 21, 2022. The project is scheduled to be complete, and the bridge reopened to traffic, in mid-May 2022.
During construction, motorists must use an alternate route.
All work is weather-permitting and schedules are subject to change.
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.
