Springfield & Republic – A project to upgrade signals at various locations in the Springfield area is scheduled to start the week of July 14, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Signal updates are at seven locations in the Springfield area. Crews will begin work outside the Springfield city limits and move into the city. Crews will replace signals at all locations, convert left turn signal heads to include a flashing yellow arrow at Evans Road, and replace pedestrian push buttons with audible push buttons at Glenstone Avenue locations.
