Bridge Repair Meeting This Afternoon

Nine bridges in need of repair in Miller and Cole counties will be the main focus of a public meeting being hosted later today by MoDOT. Identified in the work include both the eastbound and westbound bridges on Route-54 over Wrights Creek, Old Tuscumbia Road, and Business-54, along with the eastbound-54 bridge near Route-87, the westbound-54 bridge over Little Gravois Creek and the Route-17 bridge over Route-54. The bridges were all built between 1966 and 1973 and the work will involve lane closures and detours. All nine of the bridges are expected to be complete in the fall of 2019. The meeting, today at Eugene High School on Route-17, will be held from 4-6pm.
