Newton County Route E/Shoal Creek Bridge north of Granby to be closed


(From MODOT)

Newton County Route E/Shoal Creek Bridge CLOSED for Rehabilitation Beginning Week of June 6

The Newton County Route E bridge over Shoal Creek north of Granby will be CLOSED for up to 105 days to have its driving surface resealed starting the week of June 6, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

This bridge is included in Gov. Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.








Contractor crews will reseal the bridge deck/driving surface. The project also includes adding new barrier walls, striping and installing new guardrail at this bridge and at the Route E bridge over the Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Railroad tracks just north of Shoal Creek.
