(KLZA) Work is scheduled to begin Tuesday, September 4th , to replace the Little Tarkio Creek Bridge on U.S. Highway 136 east of Route M near Tarkio, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.

The contractor, Widel Construction of Blackwater, Mo., expects to complete this bridge in late November, however, this is dependent on weather and contractor scheduling. This bridge replacement includes a closure of U.S. Highway 136 with a "signed" detour route for the duration of this project. All motorists are encouraged to allow extra travel time, due to this detour.

The Little Tarko Creek Bridge, when complete, will result in smoother and safer transportation for motorists on U.S. Highway 136. The bridge will be wider by seven feet, going from 25 to 32 feet. Additionally, a two foot paved shoulder will be installed surrounding the bridge as part of this project.

MoDOT apologizes for any inconvenience that this necessary road closure may cause and encourages all motorists to drive safely through work zones to ensure everyone can Arrive Alive.
