A bridge rehabilitation project in Carroll County will bring improvements to seven bridges on U.S. Route 24 near Carrollton. Crews from Capital Paving and Construction, LLC, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, will begin work on the first two bridges on Monday, Aug. 8:

-The bridge on U.S. Route 24 and Benton Street over U.S. Highway 65 in Carrollton from August 8 to November. One lane, each direction will remain open throughout construction.

-And the bridge on U.S. Route 24 and U.S. Highway 65 over Moss Creek Drainage Ditch, approximately 4 miles south of Missouri Route 10 from August 8 to December. The road will be narrowed to one lane only, with temporary traffic signals directing motorists through the work zone.

Crews will be working five days each week but work zones will remain in place around-the-clock. Some work may be completed on Saturdays, if necessary.
The remaining five bridges in the project will be completed in 2023:
-The work on the bridge on U.S. Route 24 northbound over BNSF Railroad just south of the U.S. Highway 65 interchange is scheduled to take place from February 14 to May 19, 2023.
-The work on the bridge on U.S. Route 24 over the Norfolk Southern Railroad, Outer Road 24 and Missouri 10, is scheduled to take place from February 14 to May 23, 2023.
-The work on the bridge on U.S. Route 24 over BNSF Railroad just east of the U.S. Highway 65 interchange, is scheduled to take place from March 1 to June 9, 2023.
-The work on the bridge on U.S. Route 24 southbound over BNSF Railroad just south of the U.S. Highway 65 interchange, is scheduled to take place from March 1 to June 2, 2023.
-The work on the bridge on U.S. Route 24 over Little Wakenda Creek east of Carrollton, is scheduled to take place from April 18 to July 1, 2023.

Also, more than 14 miles of Carroll County U.S. Route 24, east of Carrollton, will be resurfaced beginning Monday, August 8. The Missouri Department of Transportation contracted with Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc. to complete the resurfacing of U.S. Route 24 from U.S. Highway 65 in Carrollton to 1.5 miles east of Route 41, near DeWitt.
Crews plan to begin with five days of pavement repairs followed by approximately two weeks of milling and paving the mainline of U.S. Route 24. Crews will move to the shoulders for seven days of milling, paving and rock. Installation of rumble strips and final roadway striping will complete the project which is expected to wrap up by the end of September.
For the duration of the project, flaggers and a pilot car will guide motorists through the work zone. One lane of U.S. Route 24 will remain open at all times, with a 12-foot width restriction. Some brief side street closures may be necessary.

All work is weather dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
