Public Meeting Held Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022

The Missouri Department of Transportation held a public meeting from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6 to discuss improvements to the intersection of Route 25 and Route K in Gordonville, Missouri. The meeting was held at Gordonville Elementary School, located at 653 Route Z in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

The project includes constructing a roundabout at the intersection of Route 25 and Route K.

“We conducted a study to examine installing a traffic signal or constructing a roundabout in this location,” said MoDOT Project Manager Tim Pickett. “Through the study, the preferred alternate was to construct a roundabout. The proposed roundabout will help traffic flow efficiently and will result in fewer delays during non-peak hours.”

The project is expected to be let in May 2023, with construction beginning as early as summer 2023. Construction will be staged to allow the area to remain open with minor, short-term lane closures as connections are made to the existing pavement. Completion is anticipated in winter 2023.
