Bridge Improvement Project in Seven Counties Focus of Public Meeting July 8

Osceola – The public is invited to participate in an in-person public meeting to learn more about plans to replace or rehabilitate 20 bridges in Bates, Benton, Cedar, Henry, Hickory, St. Clair, and Vernon counties, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

The open-house style in-person meeting will be held 4:30-6 p.m., Tuesday, July 8 at Osceola Elementary School, 76 Southeast Highway WW, Osceola.

A virtual (online) meeting also will be available Tuesday, July 1 through Tuesday, July 22, and can be accessed at www.modot.org/southwest.

The project, known as the Kaysinger Basin Bridge Bundle, is a $38 million design-build project that will replace or rehabilitate 20 bridges in the seven counties listed above. A design-build project encourages innovation to rehabilitate or replace the most bridges in the most cost-effective way through a competitive process.

At this meeting, participants will learn about the bridges planned for improvements during 2025, the anticipated construction and traffic impacts at each bridge and a broad overview of the current schedule for the entire project.

We are committed to providing equal access to this event for all participants. Access for people with disabilities is available. If you need a reasonable accommodation or assistance in another language, please contact Southwest District Customer Service at swcr@modot.mo.gov or 417-895-7600 by July 1, 2024.
