Work to construct the Scott City interchange in Scott County will begin Monday, July 17, weather permitting.

As construction is underway, the Route PP overpass bridge over Interstate 55 will be closed. The Route PP overpass will be replaced with a wider, three-lane bridge to accommodate turning movements for the new interchange. The project includes constructing a new roadway from Route 61 at Kelso to the overpass bridge.

Completion is anticipated in January 2019, weather permitting.

The interchange will provide access to south Scott City, as well as a connection from Interstate 55 to Kelso. The project will also relieve congestion at the Route 61/K/M/I-55 interchange.

 

Route F in Stoddard County will be closed as Missouri Department of Transportation crews perform pavement repairs. 

This section of roadway is located from Route 60 to Route J.

Weather permitting, work will take place Tuesday, July 11 through Thursday, July 20 from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. The work zone will be open to local traffic only.

 

Southbound I-55 in Scott County will be reduced to one lane as the Missouri Department of Transportation crews perform bridge repairs.

This location is the bridge over Ramsey Creek at MM 88.6.

Weather permitting, work will be performed Thursday, July 6 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The work zone will be marked with signs. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution while traveling near the area.
