JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Dent County Route B, south of Salem, is now open. Construction crews completed the new bridge over Dry Creek and were able to reopen the road to all traffic today, Aug. 10.
Crews from Joe’s Bridge & Grading, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, closed Route B over Dry Creek on March 6 after inspectors found a sinkhole developing near one of the supporting structures of the 86-year-old bridge.
