Dump Truck Strikes US 36 Bridge Over I-35

CAMERON, MO – The Missouri Department of Transportation says the U.S. Route 36 bridge over Interstate 35 in Cameron was struck Monday by a dump truck.  After an initial inspection, the eastbound right-hand lane of the bridge was closed and a 12-foot width restriction was put in place.  The safety measures will remain in place until further notice.

A more extensive evaluation is being conducted by inspectors to determine the extent of damage and any additional measures that need to be taken.
