Decatur County schedules road closures, bridge-jumper removals for harvest

Sep 19, 2026

County highway crews will remove bridge jumpers that day to allow farm equipment during harvest, will reinstall temporarily around Oct. 6–9 for a final superload, and plan a County Road 350 West intersection closure Oct. 6–15 while U.S. 421 work targets an October completion.

The full story

County highway staff reported multiple near-term operations affecting local traffic and farm operations. Crews were scheduled to begin removing bridge jumpers the morning of the Sept. 21 meeting to allow farm equipment to pass during harvest; the jumpers must be reinstalled for one day around Oct. 6–9 for a final superload, then removed again. Commissioners said the temporary removal should ease access for farmers during harvest.
