(KLZA)-- Route N in Atchison County, Missouri, will soon close for a bridge replacement project. Contractors working with the Missouri Department of Transportation plan to close the road to all traffic at the bridge over the East Fork of the Little Tarkio Creek on Monday, March 7, 2016. 

The bridge is located approximately 3.5 miles south of Route 46. The closure is anticipated to last until the middle of June 2016. Motorists will need to use an alternate route.

All work is weather permitting and schedules are subject to change.
