Eminence, MO: The National Park Service (NPS), in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), has begun a project to replace the vehicle bridge over the spring branch at Alley Spring. The bridge is located on Shannon County Road 106-308 and crosses the Alley Spring branch just east of the main parking lot for Alley Mill. The project is now underway and the bridge is closed to all vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Travelers heading west of Eminence on Shannon County Road 106-308 should be aware that they cannot reach State Highway 106 from the county road during the construction. Closure signs have been posted on each side of the construction site. The project is tentatively expected to take several months, depending on weather conditions.
The bridge replacement project is being managed by FHWA. Robertson Contractors, Inc. from Poplar Bluff, Missouri, is conducting the replacement of the bridge. Alley Spring and the surrounding area are part of a significant historic and cultural landscape within Ozark National Scenic Riverways. The project will ensure the new bridge fits aesthetically within the natural and cultural surroundings.
