Work to replace the Route PP bridge west of Goose Pond Ditch in Stoddard County will begin July 12. The work was originally set to start in spring of 2011 but was moved up because of safety concerns, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation. The bridge will be closed to traffic and will be replaced with a precast box culvert. The road closure will be in place for about one week.
