MO Route 105 Signal Improvements in Charleston, Missouri

The Missouri Department of Transportation plans to improve two intersections along Route 105 in Charleston, Missouri. The updates include removing the signals at the intersection of Route 105 and Drake Street and replacing the signals at the intersection of Route 105 and Route 62.

• Signal Removal at Route 105 and Drake Street The removal occurred on Aug. 26, 2026. Traffic on Route 105 is free flowing and a stop sign has been placed at Drake Street. Since the initial installation of traffic signals in this location, traffic volumes have declined. This location does not currently meet criteria for a traffic signal. 
  • The project included removal of the signal mast arms. Items such as the concrete bases, posts, highway lighting luminaires and the underground wiring/conduit are in place. The removed equipment has been stored at the local maintenance shed. By leaving a portion of the necessary equipment, MoDOT can reinstall the signal if traffic volumes increase.
• Signal Replacement at Route 105 and Route 62 Tentatively, the project will be let in March 2027, with construction beginning as early as May 2027. As work is underway, motorists and pedestrians should anticipate lane closures and possible sidewalk closures. Construction will be underway for approximately two months.
  • This project also includes improving the sidewalks at each corner.
