Route 60/65 Interchange Reconstruction: Springfield (Greene County)
NIGHTTIME ROAD CLOSING: Both eastbound lanes of Route 60 will be closed during overnight hours Tuesday to allow contractor crews to install bridge girders for the new northbound Route 65-to-westbound Route 60 “flyover” ramp. The roadway will be closed between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. During the closing, eastbound Route 60 traffic will be detoured south on Route 65 to Evans Road, up and over the interchange, to northbound Route 65 to the eastbound Route 60 ramp.
Other short-term nighttime ramp and lane closings are possible during the week to allow crews to move equipment and complete bridge work.
Here’s a look at other work planned:
- The northbound Route 65-to-westbound Route 60 ramp will be closed at night to allow crews to haul in dirt to build up the end of the new northbound Route 65 bridge over Route 60.
- Trucks entering and leaving the southeast corner of the interchange delivering bridge girders.
- Building a new bridge for the northbound Route 65-to-westbound Route 60 “flyover” ramp over the railroad tracks along westbound Route 60.
- Installing a sewer line on the south side of Route 60 near the railroad tracks.
- Trucks entering and leaving work areas at the eastbound Route 60-to-northbound Route 65 and the northbound Route 65-to-westbound Route 60 cloverleaf ramps.
- Trucks entering and leaving northbound Route 65 north of Route 60. Crews are building up rock and dirt for the new eastbound Route 60-to-northbound Route 65 “flyover” ramp along northbound Route 65 north of Route 60.
- Building bridge columns and grading dirt for bridges in various locations.
- Grading dirt for the new westbound Route 60 ramp lane along westbound Route 60 west of Route 65.
- Building a retaining wall along westbound Route 60 west of Route 65.
TRAFFIC IMPACTS:
Traffic is shifted and the driving lanes are narrowed on northbound Route 65, on southbound Route 65, on westbound Route 60 west of Route 65 and on eastbound Route 60. Two driving lanes remain open in each direction on the roadways.
TRAIL IMPACTS:
- The James River Greenway Trail is closed south of Route 60 to Brunswick Avenue on the east side of Route 65. The trail will be closed indefinitely to allow crews to build the new flyover ramps and complete other bridge work on Route 60 east of Route 65.
- The Galloway Creek Greenway trail is CLOSED at Route 60 near the railroad tracks. Trail access at that point will be closed indefinitely.
The work is part of a project to build directional, "flyover" ramps to eliminate a tight conflict point on the existing northbound Route 65 bridge over Route 60, build new bridges over the railroad tracks on Route 60, replace the northbound Route 65 bridge over Route 60 and the westbound Route 60 bridge over Lake Springfield, widen the eastbound Route 60 bridge over Lake Springfield, rehabilitate the southbound Route 65 bridge over Route 60 and install new highway lighting.
Project completion: October 2012.
Route 65 Six-Laning Project: Springfield (Greene County)
TRAFFIC SHIFT: Both northbound and southbound Route 65 traffic is shifted to the right at the railroad bridges between Sunshine Street and Chestnut Expressway. Two lanes will remain open in each direction and the speed limit in the work zones will be reduced to 50 mph round the clock. Contractor crews will begin work to widen the bridges in the median.
Crews will install large box culverts and storm drains in the median between Route 60 and a point north of Battlefield Road.
Much of the work is taking place at night. Crews could close lanes of Route 65 between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday.
The speed limit on Route 65 is reduced to 45 mph between Route 60 and a point north of Battlefield Road. Route 65 drivers are urged to be alert for traffic slowdowns where crews are working.
The work is part of a project to widen Route 65 to six lanes, with the additional lanes built in the median; build a concrete barrier to separate the opposing lanes; rebuild and widen the railroad bridges between Sunshine Street and Chestnut Expressway; rehabilitate and widen the railroad bridges between Division and Kearney Streets; and widen the bridges at Chestnut Expressway and Catalpa Street.

National Avenue/James River Freeway Interchange Reconstruction: Springfield (Greene County)
Nighttime lane closings are planned Monday and Tuesday night on Route 60 underneath National Avenue. Contractor crews will remove bridge railings from the National Avenue bridge over Route 60. Lanes in each direction will be closed between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m.
National Avenue traffic is shifted to the east just north of Bradford Parkway south of Primrose Street. Drivers can expect lane closings in both directions at the interchange. The speed limit on National Avenue through the work zone is 30 mph. Drivers who do not need to travel through the area are urged to find alternate routes. Traffic delays are taking place during morning and evening rush hours.
All pedestrian traffic through the work zone must use the sidewalks on the east side of National Avenue between Primrose Street and Republic Road.
Contractor crews will begin tearing out concrete and excavating for an underpass just north of James River Freeway.
Crews are building bridge ends on either side of Route 60 at the National Avenue bridge – AWAY from traffic. Be alert for equipment moving into and out of work areas.
The work is part of a project to convert the interchange into a “Diverging Diamond” where traffic criss-crosses at the ends of the bridge and drivers traveling north and south on National Avenue can make “free” left turns onto James River Freeway. The National Avenue bridge will be widened to three lanes in each direction, the Campbell Avenue and National Avenue ramps will be connected along James River Freeway and a new underpass will be built underneath National Avenue north of James River Freeway. The project is a partnership between MoDOT, the city of Springfield and CoxHealth Systems.
