SIKESTON—Construction of a new overpass on Route 60 in New Madrid County will soon be underway. This section of roadway is located from Route 61 to Interstate 55 near Sikeston. Beginning Monday Route 60 will be reduced to one lane as contractor crews set a temporary barrier wall for this project.
The next phase will start Friday, Oct. 6. During this time, the roadway will be reduced to one lane with a 12-foot width restriction for construction of the overpass at Ingram Road.
Completion is not anticipated until next summer.
