Project Progress
A project to rehabilitate the bridges is currently being designed by engineers with the Missouri Department of Transportation.
A three-week public comment period starts Oct. 8, 2024. You may leave your comments below. MoDOT plans to host an in person public meeting for these projects in combination with 2 other upcoming bridge projects in the area. This meeting will take place on October 15, 2024 at the Bourbon Area Community Center located at 575 Elm St, Bourbon, MO 65441.
The projects were part of MoDOT's February 2025 letting when contractors submitted competitive bids. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission awarded the contract to Kozeny-Wagner, Inc. as part of their March 2025 meeting.
The schedule for the three rehabilitation projects are as follows:
- Route FF - April 28 through June 20
- Route C - June 23 through August 18
- Beamer Lane – Mid August through September
After construction begins, each project will have a different amount of closure days noted above. Closing the bridges makes the road safer for our contractor and the drivers.
