The Missouri Department of Transportation is seeking community input on a project which will replace the Missouri Route 32 bridge over Huzzah Creek in Dent County, southwest of Viburnum. Built in 1931, the Huzzah Creek bridge is in poor condition, showing signs it has reached the end of its useful life, and is in need of replacement. Currently, Route 32 is expected to remain open during construction, with a one-lane temporary bypass in place and temporary traffic signals directing motorists through the work zone.
The public is invited to attend an open-house style public meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at the Quad County Fire Department, 80 State Highway 49, in Viburnum. Visitors may stop by at any time between 4:30 and 6 p.m. to speak with project team members, view exhibits outlining the planned work, ask questions and leave comments. There will be no formal presentation. Meeting materials will also be available online.
