The east outer road at First Street in Lamar will CLOSE beginning Tuesday, July 29 and lasting through mid-November, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
The road is closing as part of the construction of a new bridge which will carry First Street over I-49.
Contractor crews will be replacing culverts and moving dirt for the new overpass.
Once closed, the road will be blocked to traffic at First Street for the duration of the project which is expected to be completed in November.
Signs and message boards will alert motorists to the closure. Drivers will continue to have access to homes and businesses on the outer road but may need to find alternative routes around the work zone. The closure of the road will have no impact on traffic along I-49.
The project is a partnership between MoDOT, Barton County, the cities of Lamar and Lamar Heights and the Barton County Ambulance District.
Weather and/or construction delays will alter the work schedule.
