Project Status
Project Details
This project will make improvements to the intersection of MO Route 291 and MO Route 58/Hubach Hill Rd. with the addition of a roundabout. This is the South Junction of MO Route 291 and MO Route 58 just south of the signalized intersection on MO Route 291. Motorists can expect significant delays along MO Route 58 and MO Route 291 during construction.
This project was let in February 2024, awarded to a contractor in the Spring of 2024, utility work began in Summer of 2024, roadway construction will take place in late-Summer and Fall of 2024, and the project is scheduled to be completed in late Fall of 2024. This project is expected to cost approximately $3 million.
Project Update
Crews will CLOSE the intersection of the south junction of MO Route 291 and MO Route 58/(Hubach Hill Rd.), Sept. 16 – Dec. 16. This will be a complete closure of MO 291 and MO 58/(Hubach Hill Rd.), at the intersection, for the construction of a new roundabout. You can view the press release, here.
Detour information
Motorists will need to find an alternative route. The following signed detour routes will be in place during construction:
- Motorists traveling on SB MO 291 to I-49 are encouraged to follow the detour on MO 150.
- Motorists traveling on NB I-49 to NB Route 291 are encouraged to follow the detour on MO 150.
- Motorists traveling on SB on MO 291 to EB MO 58 are encouraged to follow the detour of MO 150 to MO 7.
- Motorists traveling on WB MO 58 to SB MO 291 are encouraged to follow detour of MO 7 to Hwy P.
- Motorists traveling on NB MO 291 to EB MO 58 are encouraged to follow detour of Hwy P to Route 7.
- Motorists traveling on EB MO 58 are encouraged to follow detour of MO 291 to MO 150 to MO 7.
- Motorists traveling on WB MO 58 are encouraged to follow detour of MO 7 to MO 150 to MO 291.

The Safety Behind Roundabouts
A roundabout is a one-way circular intersection that channels traffic around a central island without traffic signals. Roundabouts are a great alternative to a signalized intersection when a high volume of traffic needs to get through with the least amount of inconvenience. While signalized intersections have 20 conflict points, or spots where vehicles could collide, roundabouts reduce that number to eight. Fewer conflict points, combined with slower speeds and calmer traffic, can translate into as much as 75 percent fewer crashes. Because roundabouts tend to have fewer severe crashes than signalized intersections, they have fewer crash-related injuries as well. Learn more about roundabouts here.
