Barry County Route 37 Pavement and Intersection Improvements Project to Begin Week of March 1

Drivers should expect lane closings and occasional traffic delays when a project to make roadway improvements along Missouri Route 37 between Monett and the Missouri/Arkansas state line begins the week of March 1, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

The contractor anticipates beginning work on the project constructing a new left turn lane at Farm Road 2140 south of Butterfield.

Project highlights:
Resurface Route 37 between U.S. Route 60 and the Missouri/Arkansas state line
Increase visibility for drivers at Route BB
Intersection improvements at Route W
Add left-turn lane at Farm Road 2140
Add passing lane north of Washburn
Improve drainage in various locations between Washburn and Cassville

Traffic Impacts:
Traffic reduced to one lane where contractor crews are working

No signed detours
Signs and message boards will alert drivers approaching the work zone
Drivers are urged to find alternate routes

Weather and/or scheduling delays will alter the work schedule.
