Upcoming Bridge Repairs on Routes 19, H, & F Over I-44 to Begin in June

The bridge rehabilitation project on Crawford County Routes 19, H, and F over Interstate 44 in Missouri is set to start in the first week of June 2024. These bridges, built in 1966, will undergo repairs to improve driving surfaces and guardrails. The work begins with Route F closing to all traffic on Monday, June 3, and Route H closing on June 4.

During construction, detours will be marked to direct traffic around the closed routes. The repairs on Routes F and H are expected to finish by early July. After that, construction will move to Route 19, which will remain partially open with one lane and temporary traffic signals.

The work on Route 19 is scheduled to continue until September 2024, when it is expected to fully reopen. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) notes that the construction schedule may change based on weather conditions.

MoDOT has created a webpage for this project where updates and more information are available. Motorists can also sign up for updates or use MoDOT’s Traveler Information Map to stay informed about traffic changes. MoDOT advises drivers to be cautious in work zones, follow traffic signs, avoid distractions, and adhere to safety initiatives like Buckle Up/Phone Down.
