- JOSEPH, Mo. – The East Fork Grand River Bridge on Worth County Route M is now scheduled to begin Monday, April 28.
The Missouri Department of Transportation contracted Capital Paving & Construction, LLC to replace the deck of the East Fork Grand River Bridge and the Middle Creek Fork Grand Bridge on Worth County Route 169 and the Zounds Creek Bridge on Gentry County Route B.
Traffic Impacts: During construction, Route M will be closed at the East Fork Grand River Bridge. Motorists will need to seek an alternate route during the closure. The East Fork Grand River Bridge is expected to reopen by the end of July 2025.
Once construction is complete, crews will begin work on the Middle Creek Fork Grand Bridge on Worth County Route 169 and the Zounds Creek Bridge on Gentry County Route B.

All work is expected to be completed by October 2025.
