Mill Creek Bridge deck replacement on Holt Route T to begin May 5

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The deck replacement project on the Mill Creek Bridge on Holt County Route T is scheduled to begin Monday, May 5. The project was originally scheduled to begin on Monday, April 7, but was delayed due to contractor scheduling.

The Missouri Department of Transportation has contracted Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc. to replace the decks of two bridges in Holt County and one in Atchison County.

Traffic Impacts: During construction, Route T will be closed at the Mill Creek Bridge. Motorists will need to seek an alternate route. The Mill Creek Bridge is expected to reopen by mid-July 2025.

Once construction is complete, crews will begin work on the U.S. Route 59 Bridge over Interstate 29 in Holt County then the Rock Creek Bridge on Atchison County Route F.

All work is expected to be completed by September 2025.
