Worth County U.S. Route 169 Middle Fork Grand River Bridge now open

1. JOSEPH, Mo.–The Middle Fork Grand River Bridge on U.S. Route 169 in Worth County is open. The bridge was closed by Capital Paving & Construction, LLC, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, in August 2025 for a bridge deck replacement project.  

This project also included replacing the decks of the Middle Fork Grand River Bridge and the East Fork Grand River Bridge in Worth County and the Zounds Creek Bridge in Gentry County.
