(KLZA)-- The deck replacement project on the U.S. Route 59 bridge over Interstate 29 north of Craig, Missouri, is scheduled to begin Monday, June 2.

The Missouri Department of Transportation has contracted Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc. to replace the decks of two bridges in Holt County and one in Atchison County.

During construction, the roadway will be closed at the Route 59 bridge. Motorists will be routed along a signed detour on I-29 to Route 136 to Route 59. The Route 59 bridge is expected to reopen by mid-August 2025.

Once construction is complete, crews will begin work on the Rock Creek Bridge on Atchison County Route F. As a part of this project, the Mill Creek Bridge on Holt County Route T is also under construction for a deck replacement.

All work is expected to be completed by September 2025.
