New Future I-57 Sign Unveiled in Dexter
Dexter, Missouri - On Friday, February 22, 2019 state and federal lawmakers took part in unveiling the new "Future I-57" sign at the First Baptist Church in Dexter, Missouri.  The plan is to turn U.S. Highway 60 into the Future I-57!

Mark Stidham, City Manager, for the city of Dexter presented guest speakers U.S. Senator Roy Blunt, U.S. Congressman Jason Smith, Lt. Governor of Missouri Mike Kehoe, and Mark Shelton, Southeast District Engineer for the Missouri Department of Transportation.  Each spoke briefly about the project.

Plans are currently underway to expand Interstate 57 in Missouri from Sikeston to Arkansas.  The project once finished will connect Chicago, Illinois to Little Rock, Arkansas.

The new Future i-57 signs will be placed along Hwy. 60 with construction costs between Poplar Bluff and the Arkansas state line ranging about $50 million.

The money will come from federal highway funds, Missouri Department of Transportation and taxpayers.
