The public is invited to participate in public meetings, either in-person or virtual (online), starting Monday, June 17, to learn more about plans to make intersection improvements along U.S. Route 60 in Newton and Barry counties, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

The virtual (online) meeting will be available for two weeks from Monday, June 17, until Monday, July 1, and can be accessed at www.modot.org/southwest.

The in-person meeting will be held 4:30-6 p.m., Tuesday, June 25 at the Monett Park Casino, 101 S. Lincoln Ave., in Monett.








A second in-person public meeting on this project will be held in Neosho, Tuesday, July 9. Time and location for that meeting will be released at a later date.
