TRAFFIC ALERT: Lawrence County Route M/Turnback Creek Bridge Near Mt. Vernon OPEN to Traffic
Where: Lawrence County Route M bridge over Turnback Creek northeast of Mt. Vernon
When: As of noon, Friday, June 30
Details: This bridge closed in March while contractor crews replaced the old bridge. Crews demolished the old single-lane bridge and replace it with a new two-lane bridge. The contractor also added new barrier walls, object markers at the ends of the bridge and new permanent striping. The current bridge was widened to 24 feet to accommodate two (2) 10 foot lanes and two foot shoulders on either side of the new bridge.
This work was part of a three-year project to improve 25 bridges within 15 miles of I-44 across the Southwest District. Of the 25 bridges in the project, known as the I-44 Corridor Bridge Bundle, seven (7) are mainline I-44 bridges, five (5) are I-44 overpass bridges and the remaining bridges are on adjacent routes over various features. Sixteen (16) bridges will be replaced and nine (9) bridges will receive major rehabilitation work.
More information about this project can be found on the project website – I-44 Corridor Bridge Bundle.
