Forsyth area, Taney County – Work to build a roundabout at the intersection of Route 160 and Route 76 east of Forsyth is underway, as the same contractor continues work on the new Route 76 bridge over Bull Shoals Lake, which is adjacent to the roundabout project, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
During the roundabout project, drivers can expect one-lane traffic, traffic shifts and increased construction at the intersection. Contractor crews will avoid disruptions during morning and afternoon rush hour as much as possible.
The construction on the roundabout will take place within the same work zone as the new Route 76 bridge over Bull Shoals Lake. Contractor crews are making good progress on the bridge and are now focusing on building the road approaching the new structure.
Drivers are urged to use caution in the area and expect delays at times.
The prime contractor on the roundabout project is Lehman Construction of California, Mo.
The total project cost for the roundabout project is $1.4 million.
The project is a partnership between MoDOT and Taney County.
The project is scheduled for completion by November 1, 2018.
