The Missouri Department of Transportation has announced a number of work projects in Southeast Missouri, which may impact motorists.
Route 60 Bridge near Dexter
Work to replace the deck of the Route 60 bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad in Stoddard County is expected to begin Monday, March 5. The bridge is located east of Route 25 near Dexter.
This project will not involve a road closure due to the traffic volume in the area. Westbound traffic will be diverted onto the eastbound lanes from County Road 517 to County Road 531. In addition to reducing traffic to one lane in each direction, a 16-foot width restriction will be in place.
Completion is anticipated in late August, weather permitting
Route F in Stoddard County
Two different projects on Route F in Stoddard County are on the project board with MoDOT.
Route F from Route 60 to Route J will be reduced to one lane as MoDOT crews perform edge rut repairs. Work will take place through Wednesday, Feb. 29 from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily, weather permitting.
Route F will also be closed Monday, Feb. 27 while crews replace a pipe beneath the roadway. This section of roadway is located from County Road 420 to County Road 424.
I-55 in Scott County
Interstate 55 in Scott County from Route M at Scott City to Route 77 will be reduced to one lane as Missouri Department of Transportation crews perform pavement repairs.
Weather permitting, work will take place Monday, Feb. 27 through Friday, March 2 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
