McDonald County – Drivers can expect one-lane traffic and occasional traffic delays when a project to resurface and widen Missouri Route 76 in McDonald County begins the week of July 3, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Route 76 will receive a new driving surface and the roadway will be widened to include widened shoulders with edgeline rumble strips.
The 21-mile project runs from Interstate 49 near Anderson to Route U south of Rocky Comfort.
Drivers can expect flaggers on the road and pilot cars directing them through the work zone. Drivers should wait for the pilot vehicle before proceeding through the work zone or before entering the work zone from a side road.
Signs and message boards will alert drivers to the work zone.
All lanes of traffic will be open during nighttime hours.
Weather and/or construction delays will alter the work schedule.
