Route 43/Spring River Bridge CLOSED Beginning Week of July 6 for Rehab Project

Drivers should look for alternate routes when Missouri Route 43 at the Spring River bridge north of Joplin CLOSES beginning the week of July 6 for a rehabilitation project, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

Contractor crews will remove the bridge deck/driving surface and replace it with a new surface.

In addition to the new bridge deck, the contractor will add new guardrail, new bridge joints, do substructure repair, paint the bridge girders, and add permanent pavement markings.

The bridge will remain closed for up to 160 days to complete the work.

Traffic impacts

All lanes of Missouri Route 43 will be CLOSED beginning the week of July 6 for the duration of the project

Drivers will have access to entrances at either end of the bridge, but will not be able to drive through the work zone

Drivers will be directed along a signed detour using Route 43, Missouri Route 96 and Missouri Route 171 and Jasper County Route M

Drivers are urged to find alternate routes around the project

Signs and message boards will alert drivers to the bridge closing
