Sanitary sewer work to cause lanes to narrow along South Connecticut

(From the City of Joplin)

Starting Monday, December 13, drivers using Connecticut Avenue should watch for narrowing lanes just south of 32nd Street. 

Sanitary sewer work is being done in this area and will create the need to shift lanes for approximately ten days. This work should be completed by December 23.

Citizens who travel in this area should be aware there will be a future road closure along Connecticut Avenue for a short time. This closure will be needed to install sanitary sewer pipe under Connecticut Avenue. The street closure is anticipated to occur sometime after the Christmas holiday. The City will post signage prior to closure and will post announcements with the news media and on its website and Facebook page.

This work is being done as part of utility relocations ahead of next year’s Connecticut widening project between 32nd Street and the bridge over Interstate 44.
