Dallas, Hickory & Polk Counties – A project to upgrade sidewalks to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, along various routes in Dallas, Hickory and Polk Counties, to begin the week of April 22, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
At times, driveways and business entrances may be gravel as crews remove sections of sidewalks that run across to install new pavement. Contractor crews, working with the businesses, are ensuring access to all businesses remain open during the work.
Drivers are urged to use caution as they travel over gravel at times at driveways and business entrances to reach their destinations.
Here’s a look at the project:
