The Chariton River Bridge on Chariton County Route 129, 0.5 miles south of Route O near Salisbury, is scheduled to close next week for pavement repairs at the bridge ends. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) contracted with Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc. to complete a bridge deck replacement project, which was completed in November 2022.

Crews will be closing the bridge beginning Wednesday, April 20 at 8 a.m. through Saturday, April 22 at 5 p.m. to complete pavement repair corrections at each end of the bridge. During the closure, motorists will need to seek an alternate route.

MoDOT asks drivers to always buckle up, keep your phone down, slow down and move over in work zones. More information can be found at traveler.modot.org.
