Public hearing for Old Route K Bridge

COLUMBIA, MO (January 28, 2009) - The Public Works Department announces
a public hearing for the reconstruction of the Old Route K Bridge. The
public hearing will be held Monday, Feb. 2, during the regularly

Chambers, fourth floor of the Daniel Boone Building, 701 E. Broadway. 

The proposed project includes the reconstruction of the Old Route K
Bridge over Hinkson Creek, south of Reactor Park. The bridge includes
sidewalks on both sides and a trail crossing underneath, which connects
with the university trail system.

funded by $300,000 from the Non-motorized Transportation Pilot Program
grant, $900,000 from Federal On-System Bridge Replacement &
Rehabilitation Program funds and the remainder from Capital Improvement
Sales Tax funds. Construction is expected for late 2009.
