Project Summary

The four bridges included in this project have been identified for bridge deck replacements. The Carroll County Route JJ bridge over West Fork Wakenda Creek was built in 1961, the Carroll County Route B bridge over Sambo Creek in 1959, the Chariton County Route KK bridge over the Little Chariton River in 1966 and the Livingston County Route D bridge over the Shoal Creek Drainage Ditch in 1954. 

These bridge decks are in need of replacement due to their age and poor condition.

E&C Bridge LLC was awarded a $2,489,470.46 contract to replace the bridge decks on all the bridges included in this project.
