Public meeting scheduled to discuss improvements along Route 66 corridor in Joplin


(From MoDOT)

The public is invited to participate in an in-person public meeting to learn more about plans to make pavement, sidewalk, traffic and safety improvements along Missouri Route 66 (7th Street) in Joplin, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

The open-house style in-person meeting will be held 4:30-6 p.m., Thursday, November 7, in the Joplin City Council Chambers, Joplin City Hall, 602 S. Main Street.








A virtual (online) meeting will be available for two weeks from Thursday, October 31, until Thursday, November 14, and can be accessed at www.modot.org/southwest.

The project will make improvements along the Route 66 (7th Street) corridor in Joplin between Jasper County Route P (Schifferdecker Avenue) and Loop 49 (Range Line Road).

As part of this project, the contractor will rebuild the pavement, bring sidewalks up to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, and upgrade and replace several traffic signals along the corridor.








The estimated cost of the project is $60.2 million. Work is tentatively scheduled to begin in the summer of 2025 with completion in late 2027.

We are committed to providing equal access to this event for all participants. Access for people with disabilities is available. If you need a reasonable accommodation or assistance in another language, please contact Southwest District Customer Service at swcr@modot.mo.gov or 417-895-7600 by November 4, 2024.
