The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission awarded four contracts to replace or rehabilitate seven bridges in Northwest Missouri this week. Six of these bridges are included in Gov. Parson’s “Focus on Bridges” program passed by the Missouri General Assembly during its 2019 session. The program appropriated $50 million in state general revenue to fund 45 high-priority bridge projects throughout the state.

The four contracts awarded include a bridge in Atchison County on Route U over a drainage ditch. The other projects are located in Holt County, Buchanan County, DeKalb County, and Worth County. Schedules for the projects have not yet been determined.
