Project Summary
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), working alongside our consultant EFK Moen and contractor Magruder Paving, has worked diligently to prepare and deliver this interchange and intersection safety improvement project in Macon County. This project has improved mobility and capacity at the U.S. Route 63/U.S. Route 36 interchange and nearby intersections in Macon.
The completed improvements include:
- A bridge rehabilitation to upgrade the bridge joint system.

- Traffic signal and lighting upgrades at the U.S. Route 63 ramp terminals and the intersection at U.S. Route 63/Business Route 36/W. Briggs Drive.
- Reduced island sizes to facilitate large truck turning movements at the U.S. Route 63/Business Route 36/W. Briggs Drive intersection.
