Description:
ODOT, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is proposing to replace the existing bridges on US-60 over the Spring and Neosho Rivers in Ottawa County. The existing bridges are narrow and are considered “at-risk”, meaning they are approaching structurally deficient condition. The existing intersection at US-60/SH-137 has steep grades and limited sight distance. The purpose of this project is to correct the at-risk bridges and improve the geometrics of the US-60/SH-137 intersection. ODOT has tasked a consultant to look at alternatives for improving the bridges and intersection while taking into consideration construction costs, right-of-way and utility costs, and environmental constraints.
ODOT held a Stakeholder Meeting on October 24, 2016 to present the project to agencies with particular interest in the project. Comments from this meeting included requests to minimize impacts to cultural resources, wetlands, and threatened and endangered species. Other comments were related to the importance of keeping US-60 open during construction, and coordinating with Twin Bridges State Park on any needed road closures.
