Highway 5 bridge replacement project extended through October

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Work on the Missouri Highway 5 bridge over Bear Creek in Glasgow will continue into October, according to a Friday press release from the Missouri Department of Transportation.

The bridge replacement was expected to be done this month.

“An underground spring requiring extensive excavation and a deteriorated roadway foundation under Route 5 which required substantial work have extended the project timeline,” the release says.

Temporary traffic signals and the narrowed lane will remain in place until the end of the project, the release says.
