Drivers Concerned About Highway 86 Bridge Closure

The closure of the Highway 86 bridge is around the corner, but people are worried about delays the shutdown will cause.

The bridge is the primary route for drivers living to the west of the Long Creek Bridge, to Branson and Hollister.

MoDOT will be shutting down the bridge for up to 30 days some time after Memorial Day. Officials say the upcoming work includes emergency repairs.

A spokesperson for the Taney County Ambulance District say they have plans to arrange quick responses through neighboring departments across the bridge, if emergency vehicles aren’t allowed across the bridge during the closure.

During the closure, MoDOT will make repairs that will last until the larger rehabilitation or replacement project, which is projected to start in 2022.
