MoDOT: Project to Resurface and Upgrade Sidewalks on Various Routes in Greene & Christian County

To Begin the Week of December 16

Greene & Christian County - A project to upgrade sidewalks to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and resurface several routes in Greene & Christian County to begin the week of December 16, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

At times, driveways and business entrances may be gravel as crews remove sections of sidewalks that run across to install new pavement. Contractor crews, working with the businesses, are ensuring access to all businesses remain open during construction. Traffic can expect lane closures during resurfacing work.

Drivers are urged to use caution as they travel over gravel at times at driveways and business entrances to reach their destinations.
