A phone-in public meeting is planned for August 21 where area residents can phone in and ask questions about plans to replace and rehabilitate two bridges in McDonald County, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

MoDOT project experts will be available from 3-6 p.m. on Tuesday, August 21, by calling (417) 621-6310.

Those unable to call in during that time can visit www.modot.org/southwest and view information about the projects. They also can make comments or submit questions via e-mail by clicking on the “Give us your comments on this project” link at the bottom of the web page.
