Bridge replacement closes road west of town

Harvey County Road and Bridge Department has announced that it closed the “Old Trail Road” Monday west of Peabody for bridge repairs.

The road crew is replacing a bridge one mile west of the Marion-Harvey county line. The work is expected to take about two weeks.

Signs and barricades announce the closing to drivers using the road.

Most locals refer to the road as the “Old Trail” although it is officially called 60th Street in Marion County and N.E. 96th in Harvey County.
