BOONE COUNTY, Mo – The Missouri Department of Transportation is holding an online public meeting from Tuesday, May 28 until Tuesday, June 11 to share information about an upcoming project that will make improvements to the Boone County Route HH bridge over Hinkson Creek.
Information about the project is available at bit.ly/HinksonBridgeOnlineMeeting. An online comment form is also available on the project website for customers who would like to provide feedback.
The Hinkson Creek bridge is located approximately 1.5 miles east of Route B north of Columbia and was built in 1961. The current bridge is 20 feet wide, the rebuilt deck will add two feet to the driving area, improving safety for travelers.
Construction on the bridge is slated to take place in 2020. Route HH will be closed for up to three months while work takes place. Motorists will be encouraged to use an alternate route, which can be found on the online meeting webpage.
If you would like more information about the project or the community briefing, please contact Transportation Project Manager Melissa Wilbers at (573) 751-7699 or Melissa.Wilbers@modot.mo.gov.
