Southbound I-55 in New Madrid County will be reduced to one lane as contractor crews mill and fill the roadway from mile marker 43 to mile marker 42. Weather permitting, work will take place Tuesday, Aug. 28 and Wednesday, Aug. 29 with a lane reduction in place during operations and overnight.
Due to the location of construction, the Marston rest area will be closed Tuesday, Aug. 28 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. while crews complete the repairs. The rest area will reopen as construction continues to move south on I-55.
The work zone will be marked with signs. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution while traveling near the area.
