The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission is planning to replace bridges on Route V and Route KK in Cape Girardeau County.
- The Route V project involves replacing the bridge over Little Indian Creek, located 1.8 miles south of the intersection of Routes V and 177 east of Fruitland, Mo.
- The Route KK project involves replacing the bridge over Little Apple Creek, located .8 miles west of the intersection of Route KK and I-55 near Friedheim, Mo.
The Route V project is expected to be in let in February 2018, and the Route KK project is expected to be let in May 2018. Construction could begin as early as summer 2018. As construction is underway, Route V and Route KK will be closed to through traffic in the vicinity of the bridges.
Maps, plans, and other information prepared by the Missouri Department of Transportation, or interested agency, will be available for public inspection and copying at the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Sikeston District office, 2675 N. Main St., Sikeston, MO 63801.
