Cape Girardeau County Bridges on Routes 25 and 61

MoDOT plans to replace two bridges in Cape Girardeau County located on Route 25 and Route 61.

The projects include: 

• Replacing the Route 25 bridge over LRDD Drainage Ditch 25, located just east of the Route NN intersection near Arbor, Missouri. The bridge will be replaced with a box culvert that is wider than the existing structure.
• Replacing the Route 61 bridge over Erlide Creek, located between County Road 506 and Achillea Lane near Old Appleton, Missouri.

Work to improve the bridges could begin as early as spring 2026. During construction, the roadway will be closed in the vicinity of each bridge for approximately three months.
