Webster County – Drivers can expect lane closings beginning mid-August when a project to make intersection safety improvements and resurface Route 60 begins between a point east of Industry Road in Rogersville and Skyline Road in Seymour, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
The project targets six (6) intersections along the Route 60 highway corridor with contractor crews beginning work in the Seymour area.
For the first couple of weeks in August, drivers will see work zone signs and other work zone items installed. The actual work to build the improvements will start mid-August.
Traffic Impacts:
- ‘Round the clock lane closings where crews are resurfacing roadway
- Crews and equipment close to traffic in areas.
- During higher traffic volume times, expect occasional delays.
- During the intersection work, turn lanes may be closed at times. Drivers may need to seek alternate routes to get to their destinations.
