Stormwater construction to cause closure of portion of Florida Avenue

(From the City of Joplin)

Stormwater construction just north of the intersection of Florida Avenue and Newman Road will cause a closure on Florida Avenue between Manitou Street and Newman Road.

Work begins on Monday, June 8 and is expected to continue for approximately two weeks. Traffic will be detoured during this time.

The project will improve the movement of stormwater moving through the area and reduce flooding possibilities of roadways and properties after rain events. 








 

Work includes installation of concrete inlets for efficient water flow under and near Florida Avenue. Drivers may want to choose alternative routes due to possible delays.

B3 Contractors LLC is completing this stormwater improvement project. It is funded through the Parks and Stormwater Sales Tax, which voters renewed in 2011.

For questions, please contact Public Works at 417-624-0820, ext. 530.
