CARROLLTON, Mo. – Drivers used to driving 55 miles per hour on Route 10 from Carrollton to Hardin are in for a change next week.

The Missouri Department of Transportation, after speed and safety studies, will raise the speed on this section of Route 10 from 55 to 60 miles per hour on Monday, March 9, 2015.

The speed limit will then be consistent for the length of Route 10, which runs from U.S. Hwy 65 in Chariton County to U.S. Hwy 69 in Clay County.
