Get ready for delays on U.S. 61

Weather permitting, motorists can expect short delays when traveling on U.S. Route 61 as rolling closures are planned for the week of October 28 between midnight and 4:00 a.m. while crews set girders for the new Missouri Route 47 bridge over U.S. 61 at Troy in Lincoln County. This work is part of stage 2 construction on the diverging diamond interchange project. Missouri Route 47 remains reduced to one lane in each direction, including a 12-foot width restriction, from North Lincoln Drive to East Cherry Street. U.S. 61 off-ramp traffic continues to be restricted to right turns only at the ramp terminals onto MO 47. Motorists should utilize the signed detour in reaching their destinations. Stage 2 is scheduled to be complete by December 15, 2024.
