Starting February 10, the Augusta Bottom Road Bridge in St. Charles County will be closed for replacement for about three months. Drivers will need to find alternate routes, according to the St. Charles County.

Construction detours will guide traffic around the closure by redirecting drivers through Emke Road, Highway 94, and Schell Road. Message signs will warn of the upcoming bridge closure, while detour signs provide the alternate route, as reported by the St. Charles County.

The bridge closure will require extra travel time for commuters. Alternative routes may be used to avoid the detour. The project aims to improve safety and infrastructure. The St. Charles County Highway Department is managing traffic flow during the closure.
