We’ve been learning details today about plans to close busy Truman Boulevard over Highway 50 in Jefferson City for ten days for bridge rehabilitation work.

The state Department of Transportation (MoDOT) briefed reporters this morning at the Jefferson City Country Club near the bridge, which was built in 1984.

MoDOT will close the bridge for ten days starting next Monday, a week from today. MoDOT says contractor E and C bridge will be replacing the bridge’s expansion joints, repairing concrete and applying a protective coating.

MoDOT says the rehabilitation work will extend the life of the Truman Boulevard overpass bridge, which is near Capitol Mall, Jefferson City Honda and the Jefferson City Country Club.
