The City of Cape maintains more than 230 miles of
street and 22 miles of alleyways, which is roughly the same distance as a
drive to St Louis and back. Some roadway in Cape Girardeau is privately
owned or maintained by other agencies (such as Kingshighway). Street
maintenance efforts are coordinated by both our Public Works and
Community Development departments using funding from the General Fund,
Capital Improvement Sales Tax, other sources when available, but mostly
the Transportation Trust Fund sales tax.

All construction schedules are subject to change due to weather, staffing, material availability, and other factors. Always be intensely cautious when driving near workers and construction zones.
