ST. JOSEPH, Mo – Concrete repairs are planned for the Route AC (Riverside Road) bridge over U.S. Route 36 in St. Joseph. The bridge deck, or driving surface, is in need of repair. In order to allow the concrete to cure, a 24-hour closure is needed. The bridge will close to all traffic at 7 a.m. on Monday, July 1 and is scheduled to reopen at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, July 2. All ramps at the bridge will remain open.
During the closure, motorists should find an alternate route. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.
Repairs such as these help MoDOT prolong the life of the many bridges that dot the roadways of Northwest Missouri. The Riverside Road Bridge, one of 10,385 bridges in Missouri, was built in 1973 and carries approximately 7,500 vehicles per day.
