JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The low-water crossing on Dent County Route TT was damaged and closed in April 2025 and reopened in mid-May. However, only the most critical repairs to reopen the roadway were completed at that time, due to a material shortage. The additional materials have arrived and crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation plan to close Route TT again on Monday, June 16, to complete the repairs.
The closure is only short-term, however, and crews plan to reopen the roadway on or before June 27. During the closure, motorists will need to use an alternate route.
For the safety of all travelers, NEVER move or drive around barricades. Our crews place them for your safety and that of motorists who may come after you. Moving barricades not only puts yourself in danger, but other drivers who may come through later and drive into floods or onto damaged roadways without warning. This can be especially dangerous at night.
MoDOT asks all motorists to work with us by buckling up, putting your phone down, obeying all traffic signs, and slowing down and moving over in work zones. Motorists are advised to use extra caution through work zones, obey all traffic signs, and avoid any distractions.
