Delayed: Worth County Route 46 bridge replacement project

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Marlowe Branch Creek Bridge on Worth County Missouri Route 46 replacement project has been delayed until Wednesday, March 11. Contractors from Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, planned to close the Marlowe Branch Creek Bridge tomorrow, March 5, but have delayed the project due to the weather.

Traffic Impacts: The Marlowe Branch Creek Bridge on Route 46 will be closed from March 11 through May 2026. Motorists will need to seek an alternate route during the closure.

As a part of this project, the West Fork Grand River Bridge replacement on Route W in Worth County was completed Feb. 12.
