FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Feb. 1, 2024
Two Washington County bridges scheduled for replacement
Cyclone Hollow scheduled to close Feb. 5, Richwoods Creek to close during summer
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo – Washington County Route A is set to close next week for the first of two bridge replacement projects. Construction crews working with the Missouri Department of Transportation anticipate restricting all access to the Cyclone Hollow Bridge, just south of Strauser Farm Lane, beginning on Monday, Feb 5. The bridge is expected to reopen prior to the Memorial Day holiday. The closure of the Richwoods Creek Bridge, just west of Richwoods, is planned after school has been dismissed for the summer.
The Cyclone Hollow box culvert was built in 1962 and the Richwoods Creek bridge was built in 1944. Over the years, water and other debris have begun to deteriorate the bridges. Both structures are now in poor condition and in need of replacement.
MoDOT contracted with Joe’s Bridge & Grading, Inc. to complete this work.
Both bridges will be closed for replacement and motorists will need to use an alternate route. All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
