Caldwell County bridge rehabilitation project to begin soon

Route 116 to close east of Route 13

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The bridge over the Union Pacific railroad on Caldwell County Route 116, located approximately 2 miles east of Route 13, will close soon for a bridge rehabilitation project. The Missouri Department of Transportation contracted with Capital Paving & Construction, LLC to replace the deck of the bridge.

Crews plan to close the bridge to all traffic on Monday, Feb. 20, 2023, at approximately 7 a.m. The bridge is expected to remain closed through mid-June 2023. During the closure, two signed detours will be in place. Local traffic will be directed over Routes 13, B, and F. Truck traffic will be directed over Route 13, U.S. Route 36, and Route A.
