Project Dedication: 10 a.m., Thursday, November 1, 2012 on Route 65 East Outer Road

Project Completed: Oct. 19, 2012

The construction of the US 60/65 interchange in southeast Springfield, begun in May 2009, was completed Oct. 19, 2012.

The complex, $57 million-plus project included replacing two cloverleaf loop ramps with directional "flyover" ramps.  Bridges were built on US 60 over the railroad tracks just west of US 65. Other bridges on US 65 over US 60 and on US 60 over Lake Springfield were replaced or rebuilt.
