SIKESTON-The Missouri Department of Transportation plans to replace a bridge on northbound U.S. Route 67 over Otter Creek in Wayne County. The bridge is located between County Road 547 and County Road 546.
Work to replace the bridge could begin as early as July 2025.
During construction, northbound traffic will be shifted to a head-to-head configuration on the southbound bridge. The head-to-head configuration will allow the roadway to remain open for a majority of work, with one lane of traffic in each direction in the vicinity of the bridge. Short-term closures are anticipated during traffic shifts.
Work will be underway for approximately four months.
Maps, plans, and other information prepared by MoDOT will be available for public inspection and copying at MoDOT’s Sikeston District office, 2675 N. Main St. in Sikeston, Missouri.
If assistance is needed in another language, please contact MoDOT Project Manager Chris Crocker at (573) 472-9033 by Thursday, Feb. 20, 2025.
