A route in Cooper County has reopened after a bridge deck replacement project.

Cooper County Route F is now open to all traffic after closing June 5. Contractors working with the Missouri Department of Transportation replaced the deck of the Stephens Branch Bridge which was built in 1966 and was in poor condition. Originally scheduled to reopen at the end of August, crews were able to reopen the bridge on Friday. July 28, ahead of schedule.
