PINEVILLE, Mo. — A Missouri highway is expected to be closed for more than two months while crews build a bridge for Interstate 49 as part of the new Bella Vista Bypass.

The bridge will be built over Route 90, which will be closed east of Noel and west of Jane.

The closing is expected to begin at 8 a.m. Monday and last up to 71 days.

Drivers will have access to driveways and entrances on either end of the closing but will not be able to drive through the work zone.

Drivers will be directed to use a signed detour of Mc-Donald County Route H, I-49, U.S. 71 and Missouri Route 90. Signs and message boards will alert drivers to the work zone.

The work is part of the larger I-49 Missouri/Arkansas Connector project to complete the final 5 miles of I-49 between Pineville and the Missouri/Arkansas line.
