Two Andrew County Bridge Projects Beginning Next Week

Two Andrew County bridge projects are set to begin next week.

The Missouri Department of Transportation says crews plan to replace the north and southbound Interstate 29 bridges over Hopkins Creek and to rehabilitate the north and southbound bridges over Route T.

Crews expect to begin work Monday, March 9 with the closing of both north and southbound passing lanes to begin construction of median crossovers.

In early April, crossovers will be utilized to direct traffic head-to-head in the southbound lanes of I-29 at the bridges.

The replacement of the northbound bridge over Hopkins Creek and rehab of the northbound bridge over Route T will begin.

In early August, once work on the northbound bridges is complete, traffic will be directed head-to-head in the northbound lanes.

The replacement of the southbound bridge over Hopkins Creek and rehab of the southbound bridge over Route T will begin.

Work on both bridges is expected to be completed by late December.

Crews will then remove median crossovers and complete shoulder work in January.

Intermittent lane closures are still possible during that time.

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