The Dent County Sheriff’s Office released a report.

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is looking for a more permanent solution to address issues with the Route 19 bridge over Sinking Creek in Shannon County. A temporary bridge was put into place in May of this year following a lane reduction and weight restriction on the existing structure. MoDOT will hold a public meeting on Monday, October 5th from 4:00 to 6:00 PM at the Shannon County Courthouse, located at 113 Main St. in Eminence. MoDOT is currently examining six options for providing a crossing over Sinking Creek and will share the potential plans with travelers at the public meeting. Four of the alternates include building the structure on a new alignment, with two proposed alternates designed on the existing alignment. Attendees are encouraged to share their thoughts regarding the proposed alternates during the meeting, as well as any additional options they would like MoDOT to consider.
