SIKESTON-The Missouri Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 4 to discuss improving Route D (North Washington Street) in Farmington, Missouri. The meeting will be held at the Farmington Fire Department at 222 East Columbia St. in Farmington. The project includes improving Route D (North Washington Street) from Route EE (Burks Road) to Route 32 (Karsch Boulevard). The project will widen Route D with a two-way, left-turn lane from Hillsboro Road to Route 32; extend the right-turn lane to better accommodate the southbound to westbound movement from Route D onto Route 32; rebuild the roadway (full-depth replacement) from Route EE to Route 32 to address the current pavement conditions; and improve drainage. The box culvert crossing Route D near Route 32 will also be extended to the west to provide more clearance for vehicles making a right turn onto Route 32. Additionally, it will update pedestrian facilities on the eastside of Route D to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. As part of the safety improvement project, access management measures will be implemented to reduce conflict points along the corridor. “During the meeting, we will share two alternatives for traffic impacts during the project,” said MoDOT Project Manager Chris Crocker. “Alternate one consists of closing Route D, and alternate two consists of staging construction to keep Route D open to traffic.” Crocker explained with a road closure, a signed detour along Route EE, Middle Street and Route 32 would be provided, and construction would be underway for 10-12 months. With staged construction, the roadway would remain open, but the construction timeline would be extended. “Construction would be underway for approximately 15 months with alternate 2,” he said. Tentatively, the project is expected to be let in spring 2027. Construction could begin as early as summer 2027. Completion is anticipated by fall 2028. The public meeting will be open-house style, and visitors can stop by anytime between 4 and 6 p.m. to discuss the details of the project with the project team. A project webpage, including the meeting handout and an opportunity to comment, is available at www.modot.org/DFarmington. For more information, please contact Crocker at (573) 380-1658 or MoDOT's Customer Service Center toll-free at 1-888-ASK MODOT (275-6636). MoDOT is committed to providing equal access for all participants.

Preliminary data shows from Jan. 1-Aug. 24, 2025, 577 people were killed in Missouri traffic crashes, down from 589 during the same period last year. While the 2% decrease is encouraging, it’s too early to know if progress will hold, especially as Missourians transition to fall traffic patterns. “Gains on this front are incredibly encouraging, but we have a long way to go to achieve our ultimate goal, especially as the second half of the year typically presents its own challenges,” said State Highway Safety and Traffic Engineer Jon Nelson. “Road construction, school-related activities, shorter days, holiday travel, and inclement weather: Now is not the time to ease up or become complacent.” Last year, 344 people lost their lives in a Missouri traffic crash after September 1, through December 31, 2024, and there were 364 such fatalities for the same timeframe in 2023. If Missouri is to end the year with another reduction in traffic fatalities, continued gains in the final four months of the year will be crucial. “The road to zero fatalities is no easy feat, but as we work toward that, we need everyone to step up and do their part,” said Nelson. “It starts with every one of us making the simple commitment to use the transportation system in a safe manner - for ourselves, our loved ones, and others using the roads.” MoDOT is encouraging all Missourians to help keep momentum by committing to four simple actions: Buckle up, phone down, slow down, and drive sober. Drivers can plan their trip ahead of time with MoDOT’s Traveler Information Map at www.traveler.modot.org, where they can find current work zones, closures and incidents. Missouri’s strategic highway safety plan, Show-Me Zero, provides more information for how all Missourians can do their part to achieve zero traffic fatalities. The plan can be viewed at www.savemolives.com. #### For more information, call MoDOT at 888-ASK-MODOT (275-6636) or visit www.modot.org.

St. Louis Cold Drawn produces cold-finished steel bars for many automotive and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).The SHARP program, administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and partnered with the department’s Division of Labor Standards’ On-site Safety and Health Consultation Program, recognizes small business employers who operate an exemplary safety and health management system. SHARP status is a testament to St. Louis Cold Drawn's unwavering commitment to providing a safe and healthy workplace for its employees. This dedication to American workers is an important part of our nation’s story as we approach the 250th anniversary of its founding in 2026. The backbone of our country, from its soaring skyscrapers to its critical infrastructure, is built with American steel and the hard work of American hands.“It’s great to celebrate Labor Day with a company like St. Louis Cold Drawn that has made a real commitment to workplace safety for more than five years now,” Director Hui said. “Having achieved this recognition during the COVID pandemic is a true testament to the seriousness with which they take workplace safety.”“We are incredibly proud and honored to have spent the past five years as a SHARP status employer,” said Hossameldin Gamil, St. Louis Cold Drawn’s safety coordinator. “This has been a tremendous achievement for us and has helped us further our commitment to the health and safety of each one our teammates. While we are excited to celebrate this milestone, we are also mindful that our safety journey is not finished and that a true culture of safety is built on the humble recognition of our need for continual improvement. We look forward to another year of participation in SHARP and hope to celebrate many more milestones!”The On-Site Safety and Health Consultation Program can help make your workplace safer and avoid OSHA penalties. Our safety and health consultants provide an OSHA-type “mock” inspection at the workplace at no cost to you and without assessing any fines or penalties. The employer sets the scope of the visit, so the consultation may be limited to a specific work area, work phase, or can include the entire workplace.To take the first step in improving workplace safety, sign up online or call 573-522-SAFE (7233).
