Summary
Vernon County commissioners inspected and opened the new Hinkle Bridge on March 11 after executing documents with Great River Engineering and MoDOT; the minutes record the bridge as open and note the inspection by all three commissioners.
The Vernon County Commission inspected and recorded the opening of the new Hinkle Bridge on March 11, 2025. The minutes state that "upon the execution of documents by the Commission with Great River Engineering and MoDot, the new bridge is now open," indicating the county completed required paperwork with Great River Engineering and the Missouri Department of Transportation before allowing use.
Presiding Commissioner Joe Wilson, Northern Commissioner Cindy Thompson and Southern Commissioner John Shorten conducted the inspection.

The commission also logged that bridge work and future bridge repairs were discussed separately during the Road and Bridge foreman’s report.
