SIKESTON-The Missouri Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 16 to discuss the Route 61 corridor in Jackson, Missouri. The meeting will be held at South Elementary, located at 1701 S. Hope St. in Jackson, Missouri.
During the meeting, three studies along the corridor will be discussed. The studies include:

Alternatives for intersection improvements and a possible center turn lane will be shared. This study excludes the Deerwood intersection, the Hubble Creek Bridge replacement, and the roundabout near the courthouse.
- Intersection improvement study at the Route 61/Shawnee Avenue intersection. Options to improve the existing intersection or relocate the signal to the east will be shared.
- Intersection improvement study at the Route 61/Donna Drive intersection. Options to improve the existing intersection and to relocate traffic from the Kimbel Lane intersection to the existing Donna Drive intersection will be discussed. Improvements in this location are included in the fiscal year 2027 budget.
Visitors can stop-by anytime between 4 and 6 p.m. to discuss the details of the studies with the MoDOT project team.
