Bridge progress continues

October 14, 2020
Sheila Harris

    Construction on the new bridge on Farm Road 1135, north of State Highway Y, is projected to be completed by Thanksgiving,  according to Barry County Presiding Commissioner, Gary Youngblood.
    “We hoped to have it done sooner, but there were overhead utility lines that needed to be moved, which caused some delays,” he said.

    According to Youngblood, of the two bids the Barry County commission received for the bridge project, West Plains Bridge and Grading, LLC, from West Plains, Missouri, came in the lowest, with a bid of $751,000. MoDOT funds are being used to pay for the project.
    Farm Road 1135 has been closed to through traffic across Flat Creek since bridge work began in August.
    “It’s been inconvenient for those living north of Y Highway,” Youngblood said, “but sometimes progress is inconvenient.
    “We did notify the Cassville school bus barn before construction began, so they could plan their bus routes accordingly,” he added.

    “The new bridge will have two lanes and be much wider than the narrow one-lane bridge formerly in use,” Youngblood said.
    Just around the corner on Farm Road 2140, a new low-water bridge was completed in August at a cost of $144,525, according to Youngblood.
