Ribbon cutting held for Crossroads Interchange

(From the City of Joplin)

Community members gathered earlier this week with local officials to commemorate the completion of the construction of the new interchange at I-44/I-49 & Prigmor Avenue (Jasper Co. Road 190) just east of Joplin.

The interchange is east of Exit 11 on I-44/I-49 (where I-49 splits off from I-44 and turns south toward Arkansas) and provides direct access to the Crossroads Business and Distribution Park.
The $8.6 million project, a partnership with Jasper County, City of Duenweg, City of Joplin and the Crossroads Business and Distribution Park, features a new bridge over the interstate, replacing the former one at Prigmor Avenue, with single-lane roundabouts at either end of the bridge.
