SIKESTON—The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), in coordination with the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT), will hold a public meeting on Thursday, May 30 from 4-6 p.m. to discuss the proposed replacement of the Route 62 bridge over the St. Francis River. The bridge is located at the state line from Dunklin County, Missouri to Clay County, Arkansas.
The in-person meeting on Thursday, May 30 from 4-6 p.m. will be held at the St. Francis Baptist Church, 355 N Church Street, St. Francis, Arkansas.
It is anticipated the roadway will be closed in the vicinity of the bridge during construction. In addition, the boat ramp access at the Route 62 bridge will be temporarily closed as work is underway. During this time, the public can access the river via the Chalk Bluff Trail Access. This will be discussed further during the public meeting.
The public meeting will be open house style, and visitors can stop-by anytime between 4 and 6 p.m. to discuss the details of the project with the project team.
