Briefing Planned on Miller County Bridge Replacements
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has scheduled an open-house community briefing next month in Tuscumbia to outline upcoming bridge work in Miller County.
MoDOT plans to replace three bridges:
· Route 17, Cattail Creek Bridge, 1.3 miles south of the Osage River Bridge
· Route 52, Humphreys Creek Bridge, located 1.3 miles west of Route PP
· Route MM, J Buster Creek Bridge, located 2.8 miles south of U.S. 54
The community briefing will be held Tuesday, January 11th from 4:30pm ‘til 6:15pm in the cafeteria of the Miller County R-III School at 526 School Road in Tuscumbia.
No formal presentation is planned. Staff from MoDOT will be available to talk with the public and answer questions about project plans and schedules, estimated closure durations and proposed detours. The targeted bridges will be closed during construction.
The work is part of MoDOT’s “Safe & Sound Bridge Improvement Program,” which is intended to improve 800 of Missouri’s worst bridges by the end of 2013. Ninety bridges are being replaced or repaired in the mid-Missouri area as part of this program.
For more information about the community briefing, visit www.modot.org/central or call toll free 1-888-ASK-MoDOT (275-6636).
Eight Hurt in Wreck on 42
A wreck east of Osage Beach early Saturday morning injured eight people, seven of whom were taken to hospitals with serious injuries, according to the Missouri Highway Patrol. The crash occurred at approximately 1:15am on U.S. Highway 42 at Highway U.
The Highway Patrol says a Ford truck was northbound, passing another vehicle, when the driver lost control and the truck overturned and rolled several times. A report indicates that none of the occupants was wearing a seatbelt. The injured were transported to Lake Regional Hospital in Osage Beach and University Hospital in Columbia. They were identified as:
15-year-old Mason Witt of Brumley
16-year-olds Autumn and Jacob Brown, hometown unknown
19-year-old Colt England of Crocker
16-year-old Garrett Fancher, hometown unknown
17-year-old Leslie Ponder of Dixon
19-year-old Megan Hentges of Jefferson City
22-year-old Brady Long of Croker (driver)
The highway patrol gave no indication as to whether alcohol or other impairments were involved.
