OSBORN, Mo. – Just a reminder that the Route 33 North intersection at U.S. Route 36 is closed as part of the resurfacing and realignment project in DeKalb County near Osborn. The Missouri Department of Transportation contracted with Herzog Contracting Corporation to realign and resurface the westbound lanes of U.S. Route 36 near the junction with Route 33 North and Route M.
The intersection closed this morning in order to safely and efficiently pave the newly aligned westbound lanes and reconstruction the Route 33 North intersection. The intersection will remain closed around the clock and is anticipated to reopen the evening of June 8.
Once the intersection reopens, traffic will once again be restricted to right turns only at the Route 33 North/Route M intersection and access across U.S. Route 36 will remain closed. This traffic pattern will remain in place for the remainder of the project, which should be complete in early July. Throughout the project, U.S. Route 36 will remain open, but reduced to one lane each direction.
Traffic control, signs and message boards are in place alerting motorists of the closure. All work is weather permitting and could be rescheduled.
MoDOT encourages all travelers to slow down, especially in work zones. As always, please buckle up, eliminate distractions, pay attention and drive safely so everyone is able to Arrive Alive.
