ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Walnut Fork Bridge on Gentry County Route E is open following a bridge replacement project. The project, led by North Central Bridge, LLC, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, began in late May. The roadway was reopened to all traffic Friday, Sept. 8.
The previous bridge, built in 1934, and rehabbed in 1994, was classified as in poor condition during its most recent inspection. During construction, motorists will need to use an alternate route during the closure.

All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
