Where: Jasper County Route BB Bridge Over Stony Branch, Northeast of Carthage
When: As of 9 a.m., Thursday, August 20
Details: The bridge was closed in March to allow contractor crews to replace it with a new structure. The new bridge is slightly larger than the one it replaced. In addition, the contractor added new barrier walls to either side and new permanent striping.
This is the eighth 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.
