BUTLER COUNTY, MO (KFVS) - Southeast Missouri now has 116 improved bridges due to the Missouri Department of Transportation's Safe & Sound Bridge Improvement Program.

"With the opening of the Route 142 bridge over Main Ditch in Butler County on Aug. 15, we concluded the Southeast District's portion of the statewide Safe & Sound program," said District Construction and Materials Engineer Andy Meyer.

The program's mission is to improve over 800 of the state's worst bridges in five years. Completion is anticipated by the end of 2012-more than a year ahead of schedule.

Meyer said that road closures have been one of the keys to the program's success.

"Road closures help speed construction and control costs," he said. "However, we realize that closures are an inconvenience and have appreciated the public's patience throughout the program."
