JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Upgrading the outdated intersection at Missouri Route 52 and Missouri Route 5 in Versailles to a roundabout will get underway next week. The intersection will remain open but will have lane closures with flaggers directing motorists through the work zone.
Starting May 5, construction crews working with the Missouri Department of Transportation plan to begin building the roundabout at the intersection of Route 52 and Route 5. Work will take place overnight Monday through Friday, 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. through mid-June.
All work is weather-permitting and subject to change.
The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission awarded a $5,041,329.32 contract to S & A Equipment & Builders, LLC for the project which will install a roundabout at the junction of Route 5 and Route 52, expand Route 52 to three lanes (providing one lane of travel in each direction with a shared center turn lane), and replace existing culverts with larger structures to address flooding concerns.
