Barry County – Drivers can expect one-lane traffic and occasional traffic delays when a project to resurface and widen Barry County Route W begins the week of May 1, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Route W will receive a new driving surface and the roadway will be widened to include shoulders with edgeline rumble strips.
The nine mile project runs between Route 86 in Wheaton and Route 37 near Butterfield.
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.
