HANNIBAL â The Missouri Department of Transportation and its contractor, Lehman Construction, LLC, plan to begin work next week, weather permitting, on the U.S. 61 northbound bridges between the Warren Barrett Drive and Market Street intersections.
âThe bridge decks are nearly 60 years old and carry close to 10,000 cars a day,â said MoDOT Area Engineer Brian Untiedt. âThere will be traffic impacts throughout construction, and we ask drivers to obey the work zone signs and slow down.â
The biggest impact will more than likely be for drivers using the Warren Barrett and Red Devil Road intersection.
âDrivers coming off of Red Devil Road can only turn right, and there is no access to U.S. 61 for drivers coming out of Warren Barrett,â Untiedt said.
