Notice is hereby given to all interested persons that a public open house meeting to view the proposed improvements to the Sycamore Lane Bridge Replacement Project over Bear Creek will be held at Valley Middle School located at 4300 Gravois Road, House Springs, MO 63051, on Thursday, November 10, 2021, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM in the Library.

Jefferson County, Missouri, is proposing a bridge replacement on Sycamore Lane Bridge over Bear Creek.  The existing structure is considered structurally deficient. Replace existing deteriorated single span bridge with a new, wider, and longer single span bridge. Project includes replacement of approximately 300 feet of existing pavement with 24 ft. wide pavement. The creek banks near the new bridge will be protected with Type 2 Rock Blanket and an existing 54-inch reinforced concrete pipe will be extended with flared end sections east of the bridge.  Roadway work will be necessary to tie-in grades and the existing roadway. The total length of the project is 450 feet. 

Tentative schedules for right of way acquisition and construction can be discussed at the hearing.

“Please be Advised: Members of the County Council may be in Attendance at the Meeting”

Written statements will be received and made part of the public hearing record if received within ten (10) working days after the date of the hearing
