The Missouri Department of Transportation announced this week that the long-planned replacement of the railroad bridge on Range Line Road in Joplin will begin Monday, July 18.
All lanes will be closed. Drivers are to find alternate routes.
Hartman & Co., Springfield, has been awarded the $6.2 million contract and has until Dec. 1 to complete the job.
Range Line (Business Loop 49) is to be reopened to traffic no later than Nov. 1.
This bridge is included in Gov. Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.
Contractor crews will remove the current bridge and replace it with a new structure that will be 2 feet higher and 15 feet wider than the current one. The contractor also will construct new sidewalks on either side of the bridge.
The current structure was built in 1976 and is deteriorating at an increasing rate. Approximately 24,580 vehicles cross the bridge daily.
The Webb City Sentinel isn’t a newspaper – but it used to be, serving Webb City, Missouri, in print from 1879-2020. This “newspaper” seeks to carry on that tradition as a nonprofit corporation.
