Buchanan County U.S. Route 59/St. Joseph Avenue crossover changes

St. Joseph, Mo. - Crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) will be making changes to three crossovers on U.S. Route 59 (St. Joseph Avenue) in St. Joseph beginning Monday, Aug. 3. These changes include:

  • Closure of the crossover directly across from the main Robidoux Elementary School driveway entrance.
  • Closure of the crossover to the north of the main Robidoux Elementary School driveway entrance.
  • No U-turn signage will be added to the Cook Road intersection.

These changes are being made in coordination with the St. Joseph School District and City of St. Joseph due to the expected increase in school drop-off and pick-up traffic on southbound U.S. Route 59. To view an image of the changes, please visit: https://www.modot.org/media/57629.
