Route OO Bridge Replacement over Whitewater River in Cape Girardeau County

MoDOT plans to replace the Route OO bridge over the Whitewater River in Cape Girardeau County. The bridge is located four miles south of Burfordville, Missouri between County Road 379 and County Road 365. The new bridge will be 26 feet wide, six feet wider than the existing structure.

Work to replace the bridge could begin as early as summer 2026. During construction, the roadway will be closed in the vicinity of the bridge for approximately five months.

There may be periods when the Route OO bridge over Whitewater River and the Route Z bridges over Hubble Creek and Hubble Creek Overflow near Gordonville, Missouri, are closed at the same time. Signed detours will be in place to maintain access during construction.

Prior to the start of construction for the Route OO and Route Z bridges, additional information will be released regarding the timeline for each closure.
