Highway 76 Bridge At Cape Fair Project To Start After Labor Day
August 19, 2020
Drivers can expect one-lane traffic during daytime hours and overnight bridge closings when a project to replace the bridge deck of the Missouri Route 76 bridge over Table Rock Lake in Cape Fair begins the week of September 7, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Traffic impacts will begin following the Labor Day holiday weekend on Tuesday, September 8.
During daytime hours, drivers can expect one-lane traffic across the bridge with temporary traffic signals regulating traffic flow.
During nighttime hours, the bridge will be CLOSED to all traffic. The work hours are 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. Monday through Friday.
During the bridge closings, a signed detour is in place using Missouri Route 173, Missouri Route 248 and Missouri Route 413. The signed detour is approximately 21 miles.
Contractor crews will use a process to saw the bridge deck in sections and prep it for removal during daytime hours and at night the sections will be removed and then replaced with new concrete sections.
The work is being conducted during fall/winter months outside of the tourist season to help lessen impacts to the community. MoDOT has also worked with the school districts in the area to attempt to limit impacts to school buses by doing the work as much as possible outside of school hours.
The project is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2020.
The prime contractor is Lehman Construction of California.
The estimated total project cost is $2.4 million.
