ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - The Sullivan County Route OO bridge over Locust Creek, near Milan, is scheduled to close beginning Monday, May 4 for a deck replacement project. 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.

Traffic Impacts: The Route OO bridge will be closed through mid-August 2026. Motorists will need to seek an alternate route around the closure.

Listed below are the other bridges included in this project:

• Mercer County Route E over West Medicine Creek, near Harris, closed through May.
• Putnam County Route FF over Shoal Creek, near Livonia, closed through May.
• Mercer County Route JJ over West Honey Creek, near Spickard, reopened April 17.
