Faucett Bridge Demolition Set For Friday

(KAIR)--The demolition of a bridge, standing in the Buchanan County, Missouri community of Faucett since 1958, is set to begin.

According to a news release from the Missouri Department of Transportation, the bridge is located on Route DD over I-29.

Demolition begins Friday evening around 7:00; and during that phase, no traffic will be permitted under the bridge. Interstate traffic will be narrowed to one lane in each direction, and all traffic will be routed up and over the on and off ramps at the exit and around the bridge demolition.

Only Interstate traffic will be allowed on the ramps, and no access to or from Route DD will be allowed, in order to ensure smooth traffic flow.

MoDOT says that could remain in place for more than 24 hours, and motorists should plan ahead and choose alternative routes, if possible.

Once the bridge is demolished, work will begin on its replacement, which is expected to be completed, and opened to traffic, within 90 days, if weather allows.

Emery Sapp and Sons, of Columbia, Missouri, has been awarded the bid for the work, which will include reconstruction of the ramps.
