JOSEPH, Mo. –The Livingston County Route K North Fork Crooked Creek Bridge, west of Chula, is scheduled to close on Monday, Jan. 19, 2026, as part of the Northwest Bridge Bundle project. The project is expected to be complete in April 2026. During construction, motorists should seek an alternate route around the closure. The North Fork Crooked Creek Bridge was built in 1932 and has a traffic volume of approximately 221 vehicles per day. “The Northwest Bridge Bundle is a Design-Build project which will replace or rehabilitate 31 poor-condition bridges in north central Missouri,” stated Missouri Department of Transportation Project Manager Michael Marriott. The Capital – Horner & Shifrin team was awarded the design-build contract by the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission at its meeting in December 2023. Design-build is a project delivery method in which one contracting team is selected to design and build the highway improvement under one contract. MoDOT provides the project goals, budget and schedule and the contractor team completes the work. This technique has been known to significantly save time and provide cost savings. The full list of bridges to be replaced can be found on the Northwest Bridge Bundle web page. All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change. MoDOT asks drivers to work with us by always buckling up, keeping your phones down, slowing down and moving over in work zones.
