MoDOT contractors have started clearing out the ROW south of Harviell for the new 4 lane US-67 (Future I-57) highway to the Arkansas state line.
This is US-67 looking south, just south of Harviell. All the cleared trees and brush are burning in the background.

Further south in front of the Baptist Church where they built a new building farther back and the former church was demolished with just a foundation left. More trees to cut down in the foreground.

This is part of Phase 1B, which will take the work as far as County Road 338.

Yes it existed before the 57 announcement but there is a thread for US 60 and US 67 Freeway upgrades...

Yes, I am aware of that thread, but this one is specific to I-57 construction.
Since Arkansas has "I-49 Arkansas" and Texas has "I-69 Texas" and so forth, I decided to created a thread that is more in line with that naming scheme, to make it easier to locate and contribute.
Since the extension of Interstate 57 from its present terminus at Interstate 55 to where it will leave Missouri and enter Arkansas is about 78 miles, I estimate the future exit numbers on existing 57 will be numbered 78AB, 82, 90, and 92.

"from Sikeston to Poplar Bluff and from Poplar Bluff to the Arkansas State Line" is pretty specific to I-57.
I will say this thread can involve existing 57 between the Mississippi River and the 55/60/Future 57 Cloverleaf in Sikeston as well as the upgrades to 60 and 67 for Missouri's part of the 57 extension to Little Rock, so that is enough for a new thread I suppose

Or maybe we can merge it with the US 60/US 67 freeway thread, since it's all slated to become I-57, and rename the old one accordingly.

I requested a merge under the I-57 title to the moderator.
