A ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday marks the completeion of two new bridge projects in Howard County.

MoDOT and other local officials will join together Tuesday morning to celebrate the completion of the bridge replacement projects on Route 240 in Fayette.

The two bridges, over Bonne Femme Creek and Bonne Femme Creek Overflow, are located just west of Route 124.

The previous structures were built in 1932.

Both were completely replaced, one half at a time, in order to allow traffic to continue use Route 240 during construction.

The $1.87 million project began in June 2011 and was completed in November.
