However, during construction, the contractor found unexpected deterioration. Engineers with the Missouri Department of Transportation evaluated the bridge and, in order to provide a long-lasting structure that will serve the community and travelers for years to come, the contractor was directed to complete additional, extensive repairs. This work extended the original timeline for reopening the bridge. Those repairs are now complete, and a new wearing surface (driving surface) was placed on the bridge deck last Wednesday morning. There are some final pieces such as barrier wall, guardrail and striping to complete and the contractor now expects to reopen the roadway in mid-January 2026. This multi-bridge project also includes:  Pulaski County Route 28 over I-44 – COMPLETED. Phelps County Route E in Rolla – for sidewalk removal in spring 2026 (delayed due to additional repairs at Route D). Northbound Route E over I-44 will close and traffic will be redirected via a signed detour over eastbound I-44 to Exit 18t, north on U.S. Route 63, then back westbound on I-44 to Exit 185 at Route E. At this time, southbound Route E over I-44 is expected to remain open during construction.  Phelps County Road 8490 (Sugar Tree Road) 3 miles west of Doolittle – expected to close for rehabilitation, date to be determined.  Phelps County Route J 10 miles southwest of Doolittle – expected to close for rehabilitation, date to be determined.   Phelps County Business U.S. 44/Kingshighway in Rolla – expected to narrow to one lane, date to be determined. One lane of eastbound traffic will be maintained across the bridge through construction. Westbound traffic will detour to eastbound I-44 to Exit 183 (U.S. Route 63), then cross the interstate and return westbound to Exit 184.  The entire project is expected to be complete by the end of September 2026.

The Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance (“DCI”) Director, Angela L. Nelson, has been named receiver of Cornerstone, which allows the Director, as receiver, to take over operations of the company. The Court placed Cornerstone into (1) rehabilitation effective January 1, 2026 to February 28, 2026, and (2) liquidation effective March 1, 2026. All Cornerstone policies will terminate by no later than March 31, 2026.Cornerstone is a Missouri-domiciled property and casualty insurance company that sells homeowners, auto, and liability insurance policies in various states. It is licensed in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington. Cornerstone is a relatively small insurance company. As of September 30, 2025, Cornerstone had only 2,706 in-force insurance policies, primarily in Oklahoma and Illinois. There are no active policies in Missouri.Prior to being placed into receivership, Cornerstone experienced persistent and substantial losses which caused a reduction in its assets. Cornerstone’s surplus dropped from $1,142,458 as of December 31, 2024, to ($378,131) as of September 30, 2025. DCI placed Cornerstone under an Order of Administrative Supervision effective July 9, 2024.  Insurance regulators in at least seven other states have taken recent action to prevent Cornerstone from writing insurance policies in their respective states.Receivership is a judicial process where a Court appoints a receiver to take possession of the insurer’s assets and administer them under the Court’s supervision. Cornerstone’s liquidation will allow the receiver to marshal the assets and pay creditors according to a statutory plan upon Court approval.Cornerstone’s existing policies will remain in place until March 1, 2026, unless they otherwise expire by their terms or are cancelled. To maintain coverage until then, policyholders must continue to pay premiums. However, active policies as of March 1, 2026, will terminate no later than March 31, 2026. Policyholders and agents are strongly encouraged to begin transitioning coverage to another carrier accordingly. Answers to frequently asked questions about this receivership and other receivership information is available on DCI’s website.
