(KAIR)--The opening of the new Banker's Creek Bridge on U.S. 59 Highway in Buchanan County has been delayed.
According to a release from the Missouri Department of Transportation, the roadway is closed as the bridge as contractors tie the new bridge into the existing road. The work was scheduled to be completed as early as Thursday, but weather delays have pushed that date back. The contractor is now estimating a completion date of August 28th, though all work is weather permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
The bridge replacement project started earlier this year. A new, wider bridge was constructed alongside the old bridge, which was built in 1936 and was only 24 feet wide, had no shoulders, and was structurally deficient. The new bridge added shoulders and realigns the roadway.
