Districts Impacted
The Cole County Route D bridge over North Moreau Creek, just northeast of Lohman, was built in 1965. While the supporting structures are in good condition, the driving surface has deteriorated to a point where deck replacement is necessary.
PROJECT PROGRESS
A project to replace the bridge deck is was designed by engineers with the Missouri Department of Transportation. The improved deck, or driving surface, will extend the functional life of the bridge.
Informational Meeting
An informational open house was held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Oct. 26 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 8618 Church Hill Drive in Lohman. The project team was on hand to answer questions from stakeholders and members of the public. Exhibits outlined the work being planned and the detour to be used during construction.

The project was part of MoDOT's January 2024 letting when contractors may submit competitive bids. As part of their February 2024 meeting, the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission awarded a $859,429.95 contract for this work to Gene Haile Excavating, Inc. At that time the contractor was given a Feb. 22, 2024, notice to proceed date - the earliest date they could begin work - and a Dec. 2, 2024, completion date.
At this time, construction is anticipated be completed by Dec. 2, 2024. Route D will be closed over North Moreau Creek during the construction of the new bridge deck and a signed detour will be in place.
