The bridge will be reduced to one lane with a 10-foot width restriction as work to replace the bridge deck will be underway. The bridge improvements will be completed as part of the MoDOT's Safe and Sound Bridge Improvement Program. Improvements to the Highway 51 Bois Brule Creek bridge are expected to be completed in July...
