Commuters to locations in western Callaway County will be happy to learn bridge work on Route H is completed and the road linking U.S. 54 to Route J opened Friday. The road closed in June to replace a single-laned bridge over Davis Creek.

The new bridge handles both lanes of traffic and includes rip-rock stream bank stablization and guard rails.
