Eastbound March 9 & 10 and Westbound March 11 & 12
SIKESTON-Construction of the Route AA bridge over U.S. Route 60 at Miner, Missouri continues as contractor crews plan to set girders for the new overpass. As the girders are set, U.S. 60 traffic will be diverted to utilize a signed detour. The work has been rescheduled due to inclement weather.
The eastbound lanes of U.S. 60 will be closed from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. the evenings of March 9 and 10. The westbound lanes will be closed from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. the evenings of March 11 and 12. All work is weather permitting.
During this time, U.S. 60 traffic will be detoured to utilize Route 62 between the U.S. 60/Route 61 and U.S. 60/I-55 interchanges. The detours will be signed and only activated during the overnight hours.
Completion of the new bridge is anticipated July 31, 2026, weather permitting. The Route AA closure will remain in place from County Road 482 to Lynual Street until the new bridge is completed. The Route AA bridge has been closed since December 2024 due to damage sustained by an over-height vehicle.
The work zone will be marked with signs. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution while traveling near the area.
