Grand Opening of Hayti Bypass

What's the problem?

Route 412 connects Missouri, Tennessee, and Arkansas as well as Hayti and Kennett. The traffic volumes have required an upgrade to the two-lane roadway

What's the solution?

By upgrading Route 412 to four lanes, MoDOT can meet the current and future traffic demands as well as improve safety along the route. The route was upgraded from Hayti to Kennett, the heaviest traveled portion. A bypass was constructed to connect Interstates 55 and 155 with Route 412, so through traffic doesn't have to travel through the city. The St. Francis River Bridge into Arkansas was replaced with a four-lane structure.

Where does it stand now?

The final phase was completed in early July 2007. A ribboncutting ceremony was held on June 29.

What's the estimated cost?

$65 million.
