Three Routes in Newton and McDonald Counties Scheduled for Resurfacing Beginning the Week of June 13

Drivers can expect lane closures and occasional traffic delays on three routes in Newton and McDonald counties for a resurfacing project beginning the week of June 13, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

Contractor crews will add an overlay of new asphalt to the above routes. Guardrail also will be installed in areas. In addition, rumbles and a section of sidewalk in Noel will be added on McDonald County Route H.

Beginning the week of June 13, the Route H bridge over Mill Creek in Noel will be CLOSED ‘round the clock for up to 15 days for bridge work.
