project Project Summary

The Missouri Department of Transportation, along with its contractor Magruder Paving, will deliver a roadway widening project to improve safety for motorists, and the overall condition and efficiency along 6.7 centerline miles of the Missouri Route 47 corridor between Routes A/D in Hawk Point to just west of Routes H/J in Troy in Lincoln County.

The corridor improvement project will be divided into seven segments that will be constructed over a two-year span with projected completion in 2028. Work will start in Hawk Point to the west and move eastward toward Troy as construction progresses. 

Planned improvements will realign two curves in the corridor and allow for the addition of paved shoulders, intersection and profile improvements and pavement resurfacing.
