Motorists who normally use the Route-A bridge over Tavern Creek in Miller County are being given a heads-up about work which is scheduled to begin next week. A MoDOT press release says the bridge will be closed starting next Monday, the 18th, to allow for the deck to be replaced. During the work, motorists will need to find an alternate route around the bridge…a couple of those possible detours include routes 17 and 42. The Route-A bridge and road leading up to the bridge will be closed until about mid-August.
