(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.
