SIKESTON - Contractor crews will apply a high friction surface treatment to the pavement of the Interstate 55/57/U.S. Route 60 cloverleaf interchange in Sikeston, Missouri. The interchange is located at mile marker 66 in Scott County.
As work is underway, motorists should anticipate ramp closures at the interchange.
Work will take place overnight from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. to avoid impacts during peak traffic. Weather permitting, work will begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13, with completion anticipated at 7 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 17.
Applying a high friction surface treatment helps motorists maintain better control and makes the overlay much more resistant to wear and polishing.
Signed detours will be in place, and the work zones will be marked with signs. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution while traveling near the area.
