Community Bridge Toll-Free Day: Today, April 30th, 2024 is Community Bridge Toll-Free Day in Lake Ozark.On May 1, 1998, the Lake of the Ozarks Community Bridge opened to traffic and began collecting tolls to repay the bridge construction. Today, 26 years later, the final toll was collected to pay off the bridge and it is now free for all traffic.A ceremony commemorating this occasion was held overlooking the bridge today, with a proclamation delivered by Mayor Newberry naming today as Community Bridge Toll-Free Day. Comments were heard from Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe, the Missouri Highway Commission, and representatives from the Community Bridge Board of Directors.The City is thankful for the visionary leadership that conceived of this project decades ago, and is looking forward to a new era of impact this bridge holds as a toll-free facility, soon to be maintained by the State of Missouri.

Bagnell Dam Bridge to close for repairs starting Tuesday, Sept. 7

Bagnell Dam road (Business 54 bridge) will be closed for reconstruction beginning Tuesday morning, Sept. 7.

The purpose of the project is to repair the bridge deck, expansion joints and barrier walls and to replace the bridge driving surface and repair the adjacent sidewalk. Rehabilitation is necessary to extend the life and usability of the bridge. The existing Bagnell Dam Bridge was built in 1929.

The project was approved by the Highways and Transportation Commission and the low bid was awarded the project to Concrete Strategies, LLC., which submitted the low bid of $1,611,862.
During construction, the road will be closed at the bridge for approximately three months. Motorists will need to use an alternate route while work takes place. Use Rt. 242 from Highway 54 to access Bagnell Dam Blvd., Horseshoe Bend Parkway and Osage Beach Parkway
Motorists can use the round-a-bouts at the new intersection near W Road Eagle Stop (formerly Rick’s C-Store) to access W Road. 

Prior to work starting, MoDOT will alert the public through signs and social media.
