The Route T bridge in Sullivan County was closed in late April after bridge beam deterioration was found during a regular inspection. The Missouri Department of Transportation has evaluated the bridge and have determined that temporary repairs can be made.
Crews from MoDOT plan to begin repairs on the Route T bridge within the next two weeks and expect to reopen the roadway to all traffic in early June.
The bridge, built in 1949, has been made a priority bridge that the Northwest Bridge Bundle Design-Build team must replace.
