Jasper County – A project to relocate Davis Boulevard at Jasper County Route FF (32nd Street) in Joplin is scheduled to begin the week of July 13, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
The project will relocate Davis Boulevard approximately 1,000 feet to the east and connect with Stephens Boulevard. Davis Boulevard is being relocated to make room for a future project to build a bridge over the Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Railroad.
In addition to the relocation of Davis Boulevard, the contractor also will add new traffic signals and a westbound right turn lane at Stephens Boulevard and Route FF (32nd Street).
Traffic Impacts:
- Drivers will have access to all businesses on Davis Boulevard for duration of the project
- While the new Davis Boulevard alignment is being connected to Stephens Boulevard, the existing intersection at Route FF (32nd Street) will be permanently CLOSED and traffic detoured along Range Line Road and 20th Street
- Access to the General Mills facility will be maintained throughout construction
- Drivers will encounter reduced lanes in both directions on Route FF (32nd Street) during construction
- Drivers are urged to find alternate routes
- Signs and message boards will alert drivers approaching the work zone
- Check MoDOT’s Traveler Information Map for road closings/traffic impacts
Weather and/or construction delays could alter the work schedule.
