MoDOT to replace bridge on Northbound U.S. 67 in Wayne County

SIKESTON, Mo. — The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) plans to replace a bridge on northbound U.S. Route 67 over Otter Creek in Wayne County.

The bridge, located between County Road 547 and County Road 546, is slated for replacement with work potentially beginning in July 2025.

During construction, northbound traffic will be shifted to a head-to-head configuration on the southbound bridge, allowing the roadway to remain open for most of the work. However, short-term closures are anticipated during traffic shifts.

The project is expected to take approximately four months to complete.

Maps, plans and other information are available for public inspection at MoDOT’s Sikeston District office, 2675 N. Main St. in Sikeston.
