(From MoDOT)

Dade County Route D/Horse Creek Bridge CLOSED Beginning Week of Jan. 2 for Replacement Project

The Dade County Route D bridge over Horse Creek northeast of Golden City will be CLOSED for up to four months beginning the week of January 2, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

Contractor crews will replace the current bridge with a new wider structure. The bridge will include new barrier walls, guardrail on the bridge ends, object markers and permanent pavement striping.

The current bridge was built in 1955 and is in deteriorating condition. Approximately 370 vehicles cross the bridge daily.

All lanes of Route D CLOSED at the bridge for the duration of the project

Drivers will have access to entrances and driveways at either end of the bridge but will not be able to travel through the work zone
