McDonald County approves emergency repairs to Mike's Creek Bridge
Summary
On May 4, 2026, the McDonald County Commission voted unanimously to reallocate Road and Bridge funds for emergency repairs to Mike's Creek Bridge after a MoDOT inspection prompted temporary holds on other bridge work; commissioners will reassess Little Missouri Road at the fiscal-year review.
On May 4, 2026, the McDonald County Commission approved a motion to reallocate funds from the Road and Bridge budget to make emergency repairs to Mike's Creek Bridge. Western Commissioner Rick Lett moved the reallocation and Presiding Commissioner Bryan Hall seconded; all three commissioners present voted in favor.
The action followed a Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) inspection dated April 29, 2026 that identified emergency needs elsewhere in the county's bridge inventory. As a result, the commission placed the Little Missouri Road low-water bridge project on hold and shifted available Road and Bridge funds to address the more urgent repairs at Mike's Creek Bridge.
According to the meeting minutes, commissioners said they would review the Road and Bridge financial reports again at the end of the financial year and take a second look at Little Missouri Road at that time. The minutes do not specify the dollar amount reallocated.
The commission recorded that it will reconvene on May 6, 2026; no further schedule for the Mike's Creek work or a timeline for repairs was specified in the minutes.
