Worth County Route A, Four Other Bridges Open Ahead of Schedule

Five Northwest Missouri bridges are now open following replacement through the Fixing Access to Rural Missouri (FARM) Bridge program. Contractors from Lehman-Wilson, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation through a design-build contract, were able to reopen the below bridges:

Chariton County Route D over Clark Branch.

Gentry County Route T over Brushy Creek.

Harrison County Route D over Ames Creek.

Sullivan County Route C over Yellow Creek.

Worth County Route A over Branch.

The contractor is currently working to complete the last Northwest Missouri bridge included in the project on Gentry County Route T over Fitzgerald Branch. This bridge is expected to be reopened in mid-October 2023.

The FARM Bridge Program has replaced deļ¬cient bridges on low-volume routes that are:  

Weight-restricted

In poor condition

On timber pile

One-lane but carry two-way traffic

The full list of bridges to be replaced can be found on the FARM Bridge program web page.
