SIKESTON-The Missouri Department of Transportation plans to improve the intersection of Route 63 and Route 19/Business Route 63 in Thayer, Missouri.
The project will include modifying the existing right turn lanes, constructing islands and adding stop bars to the Route 19 and Business Route 63 approaches.
“We look forward to sharing more information about these improvements with local travelers and hearing their thoughts on the proposed project,” said Project Manager Pete Berry.
The project is expected to be let in January 2022, with construction beginning as early as spring 2022. Completion is anticipated in fall 2022.
Most of the construction will be completed with minor impacts to traffic, such as a reduced speed through the work zone. There will be times when traffic is reduced to a two-way, one-lane operation using flagger control.
Interested persons may review the project in more detail and share their thoughts at www.modot.org/route63thayer. Comments may also be shared with Berry at (417) 469-6242 or Area Engineer Elquin Auala at (417) 469-6286.
