The Missouri Department of Transportation needs input on a planned bridge replacement project on Missouri Route 19 in Dent County. Especially important to the team is feedback on the timing of the planned 45-day closure of the bridge.
That closure window has not yet been determined and the project team welcomes input from stakeholders about that issue or any other aspect of the project.
MoDOT will host an open-house style public meeting to discuss the current plans, proposed detour, and other construction details, 4:30 p.m.-6 p.m. Thursday at the Salem Community Center @ the Armory.
Members of the project team will be there to answer questions, provide information and receive comments. There will be no formal presentation, so attendees may come at any time during the open house. Exhibits will be on display showing the current plans for the project. Comment forms will also be available at the meeting.
If you’re unable to attend in person, you can find the same exhibits that will be at the open house on the project’s webpage at https://www.modot.org/missouri-route-19-bridge-replacement-over-standing-rock-creek-dent-county. A comment form is located at the bottom of that page.
Additionally, comments may be emailed to CDCR@modot.mo.gov or mailed to Dent County Route 19 Standing Rock Creek Project, c/o MoDOT, 1511 Missouri Boulevard, Jefferson City, MO, 65102. All comments must be received or postmarked by Oct. 13.
