Construction of the new Route 53 bridge over the St. Francis River in Dunklin County is nearing completion. As contractor crews complete tie-ins (roadway connections) for the new bridge, Route 53 traffic will be reduced to one lane with an 11-foot width restriction. As work is underway, traffic signals will be in place.
This bridge is located between County Road 218 and County Road 101.
Weather permitting, work will take place Wednesday, March 27 through Wednesday, April 24.
The work zone will be marked with signs. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution while traveling near the area.
