JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Upgrades to Missouri Route 52 in Versailles will get underway next week. Construction crews working with the Missouri Department of Transportation will begin with widening the road from Fairgrounds Road to the intersection with Missouri Route 5 and anticipate roundabout construction to take place in the spring/summer.
Crews will be onsite starting Jan. 6 with limited traffic impacts the first week. Daytime single lane closures are anticipated to begin Monday, Jan. 13. These closures will take place along short segments of Route 52 between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, for approximately 3 months. One lane will remain open and flaggers will guide motorists through the work zone.
All work is weather-permitting and subject to change.
This project includes expanding Route 52 to three lanes (providing one lane of travel in each direction with a shared center turn lane), replacing existing culverts with larger structures to address flooding concerns, and removing the outdated signal at the Route 5/52 junction and installing a roundabout.
