Washington County Bridge Replacement

(Washington County, MO) Missouri Department of Transportation officials are announcing the replacement of two bridges in Washington County. As a result Washington County Route A is set to close next week for the first bridge replacement. Construction crews working with MoDOT anticipate restricting all access to the Cyclone Hollow Bridge, just south of Strauser Farm Lane, beginning Monday, February 5th. The bridge is expected to reopen prior to the Memorial Day holiday. The closure of the Richwoods Creek Bridge, just west of Richwoods, is planned after school has been dismissed for the summer. The Cyclone Hollow box culvert was built in 1962 and the Richwoods Creek bridge was built in 1944. Over the years, water and other debris have begun to deteriorate the bridges. Both structures are now in poor condition and in need of replacement. Both bridges will be closed for replacement and motorists will need to use an alternate route. All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
