TRAFFIC ALERT: Route 43/North Fork Spring River Bridge OPEN to Traffic after Rehabilitation Project

Where: Missouri Route 43 bridge over North Fork Spring River north of Joplin in Jasper County

When: As of midnight, Monday, July 6

Details: The bridge was closed in March to allow contractor crews to replace the bridge deck/driving surface, paint bridge girders and add pavement markings and object markers at either end of the bridge.

This is part of a larger project that includes rehabilitation of the Missouri Route 43/Spring River and Jasper County Route M/Duval Creek bridges. Work on the Route 43/Spring River bridge begins with the opening of the North Fork Spring River Bridge. 

The Route M bridge is currently under construction with completion expected later this summer. For more information on the project, see the project website here.
