JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A new traffic pattern is coming to Versailles next week. Traffic at the junction of Missouri Route 52 and Missouri Route 5 is set to shift to the new roundabout Monday morning, Oct. 20.
Construction crews working with the Missouri Department of Transportation began replacing the outdated signal at Route 52 and Route 5 in May. While there is still construction ongoing at the site, the new roundabout is ready for traffic, and all traffic through the intersection will be using the roundabout by 5 a.m. Oct. 20. As everyone gets accustomed to the new configuration, motorists should use extra caution and follow all posted signs.

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. The project is expected to be complete in fall 2025.
