ROUTE UU TO BE CLOSED

SIKESTON -- Weather permitting, Route UU at the Cape Girardeau County-Bollinger County line will be closed today from 6 a.m.-6 p.m.

The Missouri Department of Transportation will be installing drainage pipes beneath the road.

The section of Route UU to be closed is between Route 34 and Route B. The work zone will be marked with signs.

Motorists will need to take alternate routes while the replacement project is in progress, and are urged to use extreme caution while traveling near the area.
