(KLZA)-- The Route T bridge over Spring Branch Creek near Oregon, Missouri has reopened well ahead of schedule.

In early March the bridge was closed for a deck replacement project.  Phillips Hardy, Inc. has contracted to replace the decks on four bridges in the area with the Spring Branch bridge being the first to be completed.  

The Route H bride over Nichols Creek south of New Point will close Monday, May 11.  The Route T Bridge over Easter Creek near Oregon is expected to close in early to mid-June.

In Atchison County, Missouri, the Route U bridge near Phelps City is under construction and  should be completed later this month. 

All four bridges were included in Gov. Mike Parson's $351-million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across Missouri.
