Two bridge maintenance projects are scheduled to continue and finish this week in Chariton County.
According to MoDOT, work on the Chariton River and Long Creek Bridges on U.S. Highway 24 is scheduled to continue with the projects scheduled to last through Friday, May 31. Also, the bridges will be narrowed to one lane with a 15-foot width restriction until the end of the project.
The resurfacing of Highway 5- from Marceline to Keyetsville- is scheduled to continue with the overall project expected to last through the end of June.
On Thursday, May 30, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Route YY- just west of Pershing Road- is scheduled to be closed for culvert replacement.
Drivers are advised to seek an alternate route during the work.
All work is weather permitting.
