Project Summary
The Missouri Department of Transportation plans to upgrade the existing Route 61/Y intersection in Bloomsdale, Missouri to improve turning movements. This will be accomplished by widening and increasing some of the radiuses at the existing intersection. The project also includes drainage improvements and adding a pedestrian crossing along Route 61.
With this project, the Dew Drop entrance is being realigned in an effort to improve safety and better match the alignment of Route Y. As part of this improvement, a stop sign will be installed at the Dew Drop exit. This addition is intended to ensure all motorists comply with right‑of‑way requirements at the intersection.
