MoDOT will replace Linn Creek bridge

JEFFERSON CITY – The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission has approved a contract to replace the bridge on Business Park Road over Linn Creek in the industrial area of Linn Creek in Camden County.

E and C Bridge was awarded the contract after submitting the low bid of $1,063,874.

The structure is a reinforced concrete bridge with one main span and was built in 1930.

A hole appeared in the span of the bridge in 2008 forcing closure of the bridge until MoDOT could repair it. The concrete fell away from the bridge leaving a hole with only the rebar showing.

Work is expected to begin later this summer, though a specific start date has not been set. When that date is established, The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) will alert the public about the project through signs, news releases and social media.

For more information about this project or other transportation-related matters, please call 1-888-ASK-MoDOT (275-6636). Motorists can also visit www.modot.org/central or follow the Central District Facebook page at facebook.com/MoDOTCentralMissouriDistrict
