A stretch of 36 Highway in Caldwell County will close after the first of the year for bridge maintenance. The Missouri Department of Transportation says crews will close eastbound U.S. Highway 36 in Hamilton on weekdays beginning January 3.

MoDOT crews will close all lanes of eastbound U.S. Route 36 at Route 13 from approximately 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 pm. Monday through Friday, weather permitting, beginning Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017.

Motorists will be rerouted up and over the ramps at Route 13. It will take approximately one month to complete the project.

All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.
