AMES, Iowa – May 12, 2021 – The Iowa Department of Transportation is requesting public input for the proposed replacement of the U.S. 169 over stream bridge 0.1 mile north of the Missouri and Iowa state line, in Ringgold County. The project includes replacing the existing 86’ x 26’ continuous concrete slab bridge with a single 12’ x 12’ x 124’ reinforced concrete box culvert. Construction of the project is anticipated to begin in Fall of 2022.

Through traffic on U.S. 169 would be detoured during construction using Iowa 2, Interstate 35, and U.S. 136 in Missouri.  It is anticipated that the detour would be in place for approximately 30 days.  For more information, see the website below.
