The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) gave KTVO more details on the Chariton River Bridge reconstruction project Thursday afternoon.

The reason the bridge is in such bad condition is due to the salt and snow-melting chemicals used throughout northeast Missouri.

MoDOT believes that the new bridge will be safer because the bridge's foundation will be drilled directly into a rock to make it more stable. They are also adding a vertical curve to the bridge to avoid erosion in case of a flood.
