(KLZA)-- A bridge carrying more than 900 cars and trucks per day across the East Fork of the Little Tarkio Creek on U.S. Highway 136 is scheduled for replacement.
The bridge located near the border between Atchison and Nodaway counties in Northwest Missouri will be rebuilt in the same alignment as the old bridge. Boone Construction Company form Columbia will work with the Missouri Department of Transportation on the project scheduled to begin Tuesday, August, 22.
The new bridge will be 32 feet wide with four-foot shoulders. This will be 12 feet winder than the current bridge. The new bridge will also be a single span with no middle support. This will cut down on the drift and debris that currently accumulates against the central piers during flooding events.
