(KLZA)-- After closing due to damage from flooding that began in March of 2019, the replacement of the Little Tarkio Creek Bridge on U.S. Route 159 between Route 111 (Lake Shore Drive) and Route P is now complete.
Contractors from Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, began work on the damaged bridge in early September 2019. After facing delays due to weather and continued flooding, crews were able to complete the bridge project Thursday night.
U.S. Route 159 detour signs will remain up to be utilized for the upcoming project to replace the Penny Slu Bridge just west of Route 111. Contractors from Boone Construction Co., working with MoDOT, plan to close the bridge on Monday, June 1, and expect the project to be complete in mid-August.
All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
