Delays anticipated on MO 14 in Nixa due to widening project

(From MODOT)

Drivers can expect traffic impacts and potential delays along Missouri Route 14 (Mount Vernon Street) west of U.S. Route 160/Missouri Route 13 in Nixa when a widening project begins the week of June 1, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

Route 14 will be widened to five lanes -- two lanes in each direction with a center-turn lane -- between Estes Street and a point west of Christian County Route M/Nicholas Road.

Here’s a look at the project:

-Widen Route 14 to five lanes – add a new lane in each direction, creating a five lane roadway with two lanes in each direction with a center-turn lane








-Add turn lanes at Nicholas Road, Truman Road and Tiffany Boulevard

-Install new storm drains with curb and gutter

-Replace traffic signals with new signals to accommodate the new lanes

-Build sidewalks in areas (City of Nixa contributing to the cost of sidewalks)
