Crews with MoDOT will start changes to the three crossovers on U.S. Highway 59/St. Joseph Avenue starting Monday.

The changes are closing the crossover directly across from Robidoux Elementary's main entrance, as well as the next one to the north, and adding "No U-Turn" signs to the intersection with Cook Road.

These changes are in coordination with Saint Joseph School District and the City of Saint Joseph, in an effort to ease school drop-off and pick-up traffic at the school.

During the work, St. Joseph Avenue may be narrowed to one lane from Monday to Friday.
