Hollister, Taney County – The Missouri Route 76 Slide Repair Project between Lake Shore Drive & Business Route 65 in Hollister is to begin in January 2027, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
The project was originally scheduled to start in August 2026, but has been postponed to January 2027. This adjustment will help the contractor reduce traffic disruptions and lessen the impact on the traveling public.
A public meeting will be held before construction begins to share information about the schedule, planned roadwork, and anticipated traffic impacts. The first public meeting for this project took place in August 2025.
Project highlights:
- Stabilize the Missouri Route 76 embankment between the Branson Landing Boulevard roundabout and Lake Shore Drive in Hollister by Lake Taneycomo
- Reconstruct the Route 76 roadway
- Remove and replace 1,200 feet of roadway base
- Install a concrete drainage ditch on the east side of Route 76, adjacent to the rock bluff
- Approximately 14,400 vehicles travel this portion of Route 76 daily
Traffic impacts during construction:
- Route 76 will be closed between the Business 65 roundabout and Lake Shore Drive in Hollister for up to 120 days during construction
- The project will not impact marine traffic on Lake Taneycomo
- Detour includes: Route 76, Coon Creek Road, and Taney County Route BB
Contractor: KCI Construction Company, of St. Louis, MO
Construction is scheduled to begin in January 2027, with completion in May 2027.
The estimated construction cost is $6.7 million.
