Interstate 55 West Outer Road Bridge Replacement
Project Over Rock Creek
The Missouri Department of Transportation, and its contractor Pace Construction Company, closed the Interstate 55 West Outer Road between Seckman Road and Old Antonia Road Monday, June 2, 2008 for construction of a new bridge over Rock Creek.
The closure is expected to last approximately three months. Motorists in the area are advised to take the West Outer Road north to Vogel Road to Richardson Road to southbound I-55 as a detour.
Crews will build a new three-lane bridge consisting of one thru lane in each direction and a dedicated left turn lane to access Seckman Road. Additional improvements with this project include a right turn lane from the West Outer Road to Seckman and a 6 foot shoulder on the west side of the West Outer Road.
Estimated Project Cost:
Estimated construction cost to improve the I-55 West Outer Road bridge over Rock Creek: Approximately $869,000 if the project is staged and the bridge remains open during construction, and approximately $799,000 if the bridge is closed during construction.
