Delayed: Sullivan County Route 129 Spring Creek Bridge replacement to begin Apr…

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - The Northwest Bridge Bundle project to replace the Sullivan County Missouri Route 129 Spring Creek Bridge, north of Green City, has been delayed and is now expected to begin Monday, April 13. The new bridge is expected to reopen in August 2026.

The Spring Creek Bridge was built in 1950 and has a traffic volume of approximately 95 vehicles per day.

"The Northwest Bridge Bundle is a Design-Build project which will replace or rehabilitate 31 poor-condition bridges in north central Missouri," stated Missouri Department of Transportation Project Manager Michael Marriott. The Capital - Horner & Shifrin team was awarded the design-build contract by the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission at its meeting in December 2023.

Design-build is a project delivery method in which one contracting team is selected to design and build the highway improvement under one contract. MoDOT provides the project goals, budget and schedule and the contractor team completes the work. This technique has been known to significantly save time and provide cost savings.

The full list of bridges to be replaced can be found on the Northwest Bridge Bundle web page.
