Districts Impacted
Project Summary
The three bridges included in this project have been identified for bridge deck replacements. The Grundy County Route E bridge over the Medicine Creek Drainage Ditch was built in 1947, the Linn County Route U bridge over Long Branch in 1955 and the Linn County Route B bridge over Parsons Creek in 1966.
These bridge decks are in need of replacement due to their age and poor condition.
Wilson & Company, Inc. Engineers & Architects, working with MoDOT, is designing a project to replace the bridge decks on all the bridges included in this project.
