New J Turn Intersection at H and 67

(Farmington, MO) A new J Turn intersection will be installed at the junction of Highways 67 and H, south of Farmington. An Area Engineer with the Missouri Department of Transportation, Brian Okenfuss, says statistics have shown these interchanges are more efficient and safer than a normal intersection.

Instead of motorists crossing fast moving lanes of traffic to get to the opposing lanes, drivers at J Turn intersections turn right, in the same direction of traffic, merge into the left lane, and then make a u turn in the direction they intend to travel. Construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2022, with completion anticipated that fall. The median crossing will be removed with this project.
