Missouri Route 37-Dry Branch Bridge Near Pierce City OPEN to Traffic

Where: Missouri Route 37 bridge over Dry Branch near Pierce City

When: As of 12:30 p.m., Friday, August 19

Details: This bridge closed in late May while contractor crews replaced the old bridge with a new, 28-foot-wide structure, which is slightly wider than the previous 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.
