DeKalb County U.S. Route 36 Bridge Repair Begins Today

A Missouri Department of Transportation project to repair the U.S. Route 36 bridge over Interstate 35 in Cameron begins today.

MO-Dot and contractors with PCiRoads, Inc. will be making the repairs under the bridge starting today (Monday, June 5).

During the repairs the passing lane of northbound I-35 will be closed. Short-term closures of both northbound lanes may also be necessary.

The driving lane on eastbound U.S. Route 36 also will be closed during the repairs with all traffic shifted into the passing lane. A 12-foot width restriction will be in place.

The bridge, which was built in 1963, was recently struck by a vehicle driving underneath on I-35. Crews will use a heat straightening technique to repair the damage to the bridge structure. The tentative completion date for this project is August.

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