Intersection safety work will close parts of the U.S. Route 36 and Kellogg Avenue intersection in Macon beginning as early as Monday, July 6, weather permitting, the Missouri Department of Transportation announced.
The work is part of MoDOT’s U.S. Route 63 interchange improvement project over U.S. Route 36 in Macon County. To carry it out, contractor crews will close the median crossover and the north and south halves of the intersection in stages.
Starting Monday, July 6, the north half of the intersection, including the deceleration lane, and the median crossover will close while work is underway. The north half is tentatively expected to reopen Thursday, July 9.
On Wednesday, July 8, the south half of the intersection, including the deceleration lane, is expected to close, with completion anticipated Saturday, July 11. The median opening is tentatively scheduled to reopen Tuesday, July 14.
Signs and message boards will be used for traffic control and to alert drivers to any schedule changes. All work is weather-dependent, and the timeline is subject to change. The full project is scheduled to be finished by October 1, 2026.
