( St. Joseph) - The Missouri Department of Transportation is seeking public input regarding a bridge replacement project on Holt County Route B, the bridge over Hickory Creek.
Currently the project is in the design stage. Plans are to replace the 83-year-old timber pile bridge which is in poor condition.
The project includes raising the grade of the bridge and roadway near the bridge to provide for better sight distance. To make the changes additional right-of-way will be required.
The project is currently scheduled to go to for bid as part of the February, 2023 letting with construction expected during the 2023 construction season.
The road will be closed to all traffic during the project. A signed detour is not planned. Motorists will need to find an alternate route during the closure.
Anyone wanting to comment on the project may do so by Friday, August 19.
You can go online at www.modot.org/holt-county-route-b-bridge-repalcement-over-hickory-creek; you can E-mail nwcr@modot.mo.gov or you can send remarks in the mail to Holt County Route B Hickory Creek Project; Missouri Department of Transportation; 3602 North Belt Highway, St. Joseph, MO. 64506.
