Vernon County – Drivers should expect lane reductions and traffic delays when a project to rehabilitate the U.S. Route 54/Little Dry Wood Creek bridges west of Nevada begins the week of March 11, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Contractor crews will remove the bridge deck/driving surface on both east- and westbound bridges and replace it with a new driving surface.
Traffic impacts:
- Beginning the week of March 11, contractor crews will CLOSE the westbound bridge and shift traffic head-to-head on the eastbound lanes until mid-summer
- When contractor completes work on westbound bridge, the eastbound bridge will CLOSE and traffic shifted head-to-head on the westbound lanes for duration of the project
- Drivers should expect traffic delays
- Watch for equipment and crews entering and exiting the work zone
