Project History
The U.S. Route 60 Project is a $8.2 million project in south Springfield. This project improves safety and mobility throughout the corridor, and adds an additional driving lane to each direction of U.S. Route 60 from National Avenue to South Kansas Expressway. MoDOT plans to start construction of this project in 2022.
Project Background & Noise Impacts
As part of the U.S. Route 60 lane addition Project, a traffic noise impact analysis was performed. This analysis determined that areas along the project corridor will experience sound-level impacts under design year (2040) traffic conditions. A noise impact occurs when a predicted design year noise level exceeds 66 decibels.
