Joplin – Drivers should expect narrowed lanes and traffic delays when a project to resurface 32nd Street (Jasper County Route FF) in Joplin between Main Street (Missouri Route 43) and Missouri Route 249, as well as make improvements to three intersections begins the week of June 3, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
An overview of work to be done at each intersection:
-Main Street (Missouri Route 43) – New northbound to eastbound right turn lane; new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant sidewalk and crosswalk connecting to existing sidewalk on southeast corner
-Indiana Avenue – New curbs; new ADA-compliant sidewalks and crosswalks connecting to existing sidewalks, new traffic signals
-Connecticut Avenue – New northbound- and eastbound right turn lanes; new ADA-compliant sidewalks and crosswalks connecting to existing sidewalks, new traffic signals
The intersection improvements are a 50/50 cost-share with the City of Joplin.
When the intersection improvements are completed, contractor crews will remove the current driving surface on 32nd Street and replace it with a new asphalt surface between Main Street and Route 249.
Contractor crews will work nighttime hours between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., Sunday through Friday, beginning at Main Street and working east.
At least one lane in each direction will be open to traffic where crews are working. All lanes on 32nd Street will be open to traffic during daytime hours.
Drivers are urged to use caution when traveling through the work zone and watch for crews and equipment working close to traffic.
Weather and/or scheduling delays could alter the work schedule.
