Construction on 43/160 roundabout near Seneca to begin Sept. 6

(From MODOT)

Work to construct a single-lane roundabout at the intersection of U.S. Route 60 and Missouri Route 43 near Seneca is scheduled to begin the week of September 6, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

Contractor crews will construct the new single-lane roundabout to replace the current four-way stop configuration with its stop signs and flashing red signals at the intersection. The project also includes installation of street lighting.

The intersection will remain open to traffic during construction. However, drivers can expect traffic delays due to narrowed lanes at times and occasional lane closures. During times of one-lane traffic, flaggers will guide drivers through the work zone.

Contractor crews will work primarily during daytime hours, with some nighttime work for paving.

Signs and message boards will alert drivers approaching the work zone.

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