(KAIR)--The Missouri Department of Transportation has announced that a portion of U.S. Highway 59, south of St. Joseph will be closed for approximately thirty days, starting on Tuesday, July 14th to allow bridge work to be completed.
According to a release from MoDot, the new Bankers Crossing Bridge, currently under construction next to the old bridge, needs to be tied into the roadway. Traffic will be directed over a signed detour on Routes 752, 371, and 116.
The old bridge, which has been in use since 1936, carries more than 5,000 vehicles per day and has been deemed to be structurally deficient. It is twenty four feet wide, has no shoulders, and has limited site distance due to the curve of the highway. The new bridge is wider, provides shoulders, and realigns the roadway.
