SIKESTON, Mo. -- Yard-sale shoppers will be out along Highway 25 Memorial Day weekend in search of bargains at the 100-Mile Yard Sale, but the Missouri Department of Transportation warns participants to drive carefully in the congested areas along the route, according to a MoDOT news release. MoDOT will have message boards up along the highway to alert drivers of traffic congestion and promote safe driving. For more information, contact traffic engineer Craig Compas at 573-472-5310 or call MoDOT's Customer Service Center at 888-275-6636. The sale traditionally happens along the road from Jackson to Kennett, with concentrations of sales and traffic around many towns on the route.
