HANNIBAL – Weather permitting, July 25 at 7:00 a.m., Scotland County Route B will close for a bridge replacement project beginning over the North Fork North Fabius River, located 0.1 mile west of Route JJ. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission awarded the contract earlier this year to Mera Excavating, LLC of Bonnots Mill, Missouri in the amount of $1,032,191.
“The contractor will have 108 days to complete replacing the existing structure, built in 1949. The work is estimated to be completed by mid-November, just in time for Thanksgiving holiday travel," said MoDOT Area Engineer Amy Crawford.
