The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the demolition of the Watson Northbound Weigh Scale facility located on I-29 at mile marker 121.4 in Atchison County.

Specific deliverables include removing the building two feet below finished grade, disposing of all materials, removing inspection area ramps and curbing, filling the scale void with crushed or flowable concrete, removing vegetation, repairing potholes, and restoring the site. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for May 3, 2018, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with written questions due by May 4, 2018.
