PLATTE COUNTY – The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking public input regarding the replacement of the NW Cookingham Dr. Bridge over Interstate 435 in Platte County. The comment period will open at 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 8 and will remain open until 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 22. The public is invited to leave questions and comments on the project webpage, Interstate 435 Bridge Replacement in Platte County | Missouri Department of Transportation. There will not be in-person public meeting for this project.
Cookingham Drive bridge over I-435 was originally built in 1977 and carries 2500 vehicles per day. The existing bridge is nearing the end of its service life.
Cookingham Drive will be closed from the NB I-435 exit ramp to the I-435 SB entrance ramp for the duration of the project and a signed detour will be provided. I-435 will remain open to traffic. Drivers will be diverted up and down the ramps for bridge demolition and to install girders.
