Where: Missouri Route 2 bridge over Tebo Creek west of Windsor in Henry County
When: As of 2:15 p.m., Friday, March 27
Details: The bridge was closed in January to allow contractor crews to replace it with a new, wider structure. The new bridge was widened by three (3) feet to accommodate two 12-foot wide lanes. In addition, the contractor added new barrier walls, guardrail at the ends of the bridge and new permanent striping.
This is the third bridge to be completed and opened to traffic in a three-year project to improve 20 bridges in seven (7) counties in west central Missouri. Of the 20 bridges in the project, known as the Kaysinger Basin Bridge Bundle, fourteen (14) bridges will be replaced and six (6) bridges will receive major rehabilitation work. On average, these bridges have been in place for 70 years.
