The northbound bridge of U.S. Route 65 over Muddy Creek in northern Pettis County has reopened to traffic after a rehabilitation project.

The Missouri Department of Transportation reopened the span Thursday, Jan. 3 near Bothwell Lodge after the completion of a six-month project. In addition to a new bridge deck, crews performed work on the superstructure and guardrails. The project had a projected price tag of $3,571,000.
