Project Description

The project will include widening Route 95 from near the U.S. 60 Interchange to Business 60 through Mountain Grove to include a center turn lane. In addition, access points along the corridor will be moved and sidewalks will be improved in compliance with the current standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The proposed project also includes the construction of two roundabouts at the intersections of 3rd Street/Route 95 and at Route 95 and the eastbound on/off ramps.

Timeline

 The project is expected to be let in spring 2026, with construction beginning in summer 2026. 

Traffic Impacts

As work is underway, motorists should expect periodic single lane closures. Completion is anticipated in fall 2027.

About Roundabouts

Driving in circles can be a good thing, if it means you get where you want to go quicker and safer. That’s why the Missouri Department of Transportation is using roundabouts as a way to manage traffic at some intersections. This video will help you better understand how to navigate a roundabout, plus explain the many benefits they have compared to traditional traffic signal intersections.

Navigating a Roundabout: 

When approaching a roundabout, you will see a dashed white line and a yield sign at each entry point. Slow down, use your turn signal, look for oncoming cars, pedestrians, and bicyclists. When you see a safe opening, proceed into the roundabout. Follow the circle of traffic until you see the road you want to turn onto, then exit out of the roundabout. When entering a roundabout, remember, all vehicles already within the roundabout have the right of way. Do not enter a roundabout if an emergency vehicle is approaching a roundabout. If an emergency vehicle approaches while you are in a roundabout, exit immediately and pull over to the right side of the road. Never turn left when entering a roundabout. When exiting, be sure to use your right turn signal.
