Interchange lighting installation begins

The installation of new lighting at four interchanges throughout Ste. Genevieve County along Interstate 55 began Wednesday. Weather permitting, work should be completed by Nov. 15. The work will take place from 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily, but there will be no lane closures as the work is being done along the shoulders. The project includes installing interchange lighting at the following I-55 locations: Route Z (Exit 141, Saint Mary, Mo.); Route O (Exit 154, Ste. Genevieve, Mo.); Route Y (Exit 157, Bloomsdale, Mo.), and Route DD/OO (Exit 162).
