Contractor crews are set to CLOSE Barton County Route W over East Dry Fork Creek northwest of Lamar for up to 160 days beginning the week of January 15 to replace two box culverts, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

Contractor crews will remove the existing culverts and replace them with new ones. The contractor also will install new guardrail, object markers and new permanent striping.
