The three bridges included in this project have been identified for improvements. The Andrew County Route H Lincoln Creek Bridge was built in 1966, the Andrew County Route B Upper Neely Bridge in 1968, and the Buchanan Route DD Jenkins Creek Bridge in 1971. This project will replace the bridge decks and update guardrail to current standards.

The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission will consider all submitted bids at its scheduled monthly meeting in September 2024. If the lowest submitted bid meets all necessary criteria, the MHTC may award contracts at that time.
