The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission recently awarded a transportation improvement project for work on U.S. 24/61 to rehabilitate both north and southbound bridges over the North Fabius River, just north of Route 6 near Taylor. Bross Construction Company of Hannibal was the successful bidder on this project at $1,842,941.55. The funding for this project originates from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) authorized by the federal government.
A new concrete surface will be placed on the driving lanes and shoulders of both bridges and the curb on the bridge will also be modified and new guardrail installed. Traffic will be restricted to one lane while work is in progress on the bridges.
Work may begin after March and is expected to be completed by December 2010. Details about the project will be released to local media prior to construction beginning.
