Intersection Improvements Planned for U.S. Route 60 &

Monett – Drivers can expect lane shifts and traffic delays during work to add through lanes and turn lanes at the U.S. Route 60 and Missouri Route 37 intersection in Monett beginning the week of July 9, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

The project includes:

• Adding a second through lane on eastbound U.S. Route 60
• Adding a right-turn lane on eastbound U.S. Route 60 to southbound Missouri Route 37
• Adjust the northbound Missouri Route 37 to eastbound U.S. Route 60 right turn to improve visibility for drivers

Contractor crews will conduct most of the work during daytime hours Monday through Friday. However, paving operations are expected to be done at night.

This project is a partnership between the City of Monett and MoDOT.

Weather and/or scheduling delays could alter the work schedule.
