Route H/Deepwater Creek Bridge closing for replacement

Bates County Route H/South Deepwater Creek Set for Replacement Beginning Monday, June 4

Route H at South Deepwater Creek east of Butler is scheduled to CLOSE Monday, June 4, to allow contractor crews to replace the bridge, the Missouri Department of Transportation said. Route H will remain closed at the South Deepwater Creek bridge until late July.

The old bridge is being replaced as part of MoDOT's Safe & Sound Bridge Improvement Program. Weather and/or construction delays could alter the dates the road is closed and reopened.

Route H will be closed where crews are working at South Deepwater Creek, but drivers WILL have access to driveways and other entrances on either side of the project.

Drivers will have to find alternate routes around the closing including Bates County Route BB, Route 52 and St. Clair/Henry County Route KK. No official detour will be signed.

MoDOT and contractors have alerted law enforcement, fire and ambulance agencies so they can plan how to respond to emergency calls with the bridge closed.

The post office has been notified so they can adjust mail carrier routes if necessary.
