Upcoming Bridge Replacement Projects on US 67 in Butler County

SIKESTON-The Missouri Department of Transportation plans to replace three bridges on U.S. Route 67 in Butler County.

The projects include:

• Replacing the U.S. 67 bridge over Harviell Ditch between County Road 340 and County Road 352. Prior to the start of construction, the new four-lane section of Future I-57 will be completed just south of this structure. During construction, existing U.S. 67 will be closed in the vicinity of the bridge. Travelers will utilize the upgraded section of U.S. 67 during this time.
• Replacing the U.S. 67 bridge over Hart Ditch, located south of Route MM/County Road 350. A temporary bypass will be constructed adjacent to the existing bridge during construction.
• Replacing the U.S. 67 bridge over Neelyville Ditch, located north of Route 142 near Neelyville, Missouri. A temporary bypass will be constructed adjacent to the existing bridge during construction.

Tentatively, the three bridges will be let in November 2026, with construction beginning as early as spring 2027. Construction will be underway for approximately four months at each structure.

Maps, plans, and other information prepared by the Missouri Department of Transportation will be available for public inspection and copying at MoDOT's Sikeston District office, 2675 N. Main St. in Sikeston, Missouri.
