ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – A section of Sullivan County Route T is now closed at the East Locust Creek Bridge, south of Milan. A routine inspection identified bridge beam deterioration, prompting the Missouri Department of Transportation to immediately close the bridge to all traffic. A timeframe for the closure is unknown while MoDOT crews make further evaluations. Motorists will need to use an alternate route.
The bridge, built in 1949, has been identified for potential replacement in the Northwest Bridge Bundle, a project which will replace or rehabilitate up to 34 poor condition bridges in north central Missouri.
