Tanner Bridge Road to close later this month

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Tanner Bridge Road bridge over the Moreau River will close later this month, according to a Monday press release from Cole County Public Works.
The closure will begin Monday, Feb. 23 between Friendship Road and Route B, the release says. Don Schnieders Excavating Company, Inc. was awarded the $2.1 Million contract by the Cole County Commission in January, the release says.
The project – which includes realigning and widening the bridge -- is expected to be completed by November, according to the release.
The existing bridge was built in 1960 and is listed as “poor” in the Missouri Department of Transportation’s off-system bridge replacement and rehabilitation, according to the release.
