Weather permitting, Monday, August 15, the Missouri Department of Transportation will close Missouri Route 79 at Guinn’s Creek, located 0.60 mile south of Route H near Annada, to replace the bridge.  The closure date has been pushed back two weeks due to complications with getting materials. “It will take our contractor about two months to complete the Guinn’s Creek Bridge project,” said MoDOT Are

The U.S. 54 bridge over the Mississippi River in Louisiana, known as the Champ Clark Bridge, will close each day beginning Monday, August 10 through Thursday, August 13 from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. so the Missouri Department of Transportation can conduct its annual in-depth inspection on the 87-year-old bridge.
