Caldwell County U.S. Route 36 to Close Overnight at Hamilton

Closure of both east and westbound lanes of Caldwell County U.S. Route 36 under the Route 13 bridge at Hamilton will begin tonight.

A project to replace the bridge, led by Capitol Paving and Construction, LLC, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, began in late May.

From 7:00 tonight through 6:30 Wednesday morning, crews will close U.S. Route 36 east and westbound beneath Route 13 to remove the Route 13 bridge overhang.

During the closure, traffic will go up and over the on/off ramps at the Route 13 exit.

An 18-foot width restriction will be in place.

MoDOT expects to finish the project this month.

Due to an ongoing resurfacing project on Route 13 from the southern Hamilton city limits at Mill Creek Road to Route HH in Kingston, traffic wishing to travel south of Hamilton on Route 13 will be directed along a signed detour on U.S. Route 36 to the west, Interstate 35 to the south, and Route 116 to the east to reconnect with Route 13.

Motorists traveling north/south on Route 13 can use the on/off ramps to access U.S. Route 36 throughout the project.

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