The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking community input on plans to replace the Business Route 240 and Missouri Route 3 bridges over CPKC Railroad in Howard County, east of Glasgow. Built in 1934 and 1941, respectively, both bridges are in poor condition and have reached the end of their useful lives. Replacing both bridges will require the closure of each bridge, with signed detours. Construction is expected in 2027 or 2028, dependent on contractor scheduling.

Public input is essential to help guide the design and construction process. There are multiple ways to comment, question, and provide insight: in person, online, by email, and by traditional mail. The public is invited to attend an open house-style public meeting on Thursday, September 3, at the Armstrong City Hall, 106 Haley Street. Visitors may stop by any time from 4:30 to 6 p.m. to speak with project team members, view exhibits outlining the planned work, ask questions, and leave comments. There will be no formal presentation.

There will also be a three-week open comment period from August 27 to September 17. Input may be submitted online at the project web pages at www.modot.org, emailed to cdcr@modot.mo.gov, or mailed to 1511 Missouri Boulevard, Jefferson City, MO 65109. All comments must be received or postmarked by September 17.
