Delayed: Putnam County Route FF Shoal Creek Bridge to close March 16

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Transportation has contracted E&C Bridge, LLC to complete a bridge deck replacement project on four bridges in Mercer, Putnam and Sullivan counties. The Putnam County Route FF bridge over Shoal Creek, near Livonia, was scheduled to close on Monday, March 9, but has been delayed until Monday, March 16, due to contractor schedule changes.

Traffic Impacts: The Route FF bridge will be closed beginning March 16 through May 2026. Motorists will need to seek an alternate route around the closure.

Listed below are the remaining bridges included in this project with estimated start dates:

• The Mercer County Route JJ over West Honey Creek, near Spickard, closed through early April.
• Mercer County Route E over West Medicine Creek, near Harris, scheduled to begin March 17.
• Sullivan County Route OO over Locust Creek, near Milan, scheduled to begin in May.
