Cass County Emergency Management Coordinator Mike Kennon reports a lengthy bridge replacement project on the U.S. Highway 71 bridge over Lone Tree Creek…about three-miles south of Atlantic, or one-tenth of a mile south of Cass County Road G-35…is now complete, and the road is open to normal traffic.

That section of the highway has been closed since April 23. It was re-opened late Sunday evening, according to some social media posts.
