The Grand River Bridge on Highway 65 south of Chillicothe will be under construction beginning Monday, March 2, 2020.

A rehabilitation project to place a new bridge deck will be led by contractors from Radmacher Brothers Excavating Co., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation. The first portion of the project, which will take approximately one month, will be the relocation of an access road on the north side of the bridge.

Bridge construction will start after the driveway relocation and will be staged to allow one lane of traffic over the bridge throughout much of the project, with an 11.5-foot width restriction. Temporary traffic signals will be used to guide motorists through the work zone. Drivers may expect delays.

During two portions of the project to connect the new bridge deck with the roadway, complete closure of U.S. Route 65 at the bridge will be necessary. The exact dates of the closures are not known at this time, but one is anticipated in mid to late June and one in mid to late October. During those closures, traffic will be directed over a signed detour route on Routes Z, C and U.S. Route 36.

Contractors plan to have the bridge open to two-way traffic before Thanksgiving. As with all construction, work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
