Intersection Improvements Coming in Washington County

JEFFERSON CITY - The intersection of Missouri Route 8 and Washington County Routes O and U will soon undergo several enhancements under a contract approved by the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission.

The project includes traffic signal improvements and the construction of additional turn lanes at the intersection in Potosi. Fiber optic installation for traffic signals is also planned for intersections along Routes 8, 21, and E in Potosi.

Reinhold Electric was awarded the contract, after submitting the low bid of $592,058.

The project is scheduled to begin this summer. When a start date is established, MoDOT will alert the public about the project through signs, news releases and social media.
