Intersection of W. 20th Street and Crestview Drive in Joplin to close


(From the City of Joplin)

Starting Friday, May 1, Crestview Drive at 20th Street will be closed to all north and southbound traffic, cutting off access to 20th Street at this location, to allow for the reconstruction of the intersection. This closure is expected to remain in place for up to two weeks, weather permitting.

Access to the Twin Hills neighborhood, including Crestview Drive will be available using Twin Hills Drive during this construction period. 








Citizens should be aware that other closures will be announced as this capital improvement project progresses to widen approximately two miles of West 20th Street from two lanes to three lanes from Schifferdecker Avenue to Central City Road. The project includes intersection improvements at both Country Club Drive and Central City Road, adding curbs and gutters, as well as a shared-use path for pedestrians and cyclists along the entire route.

Emery Sapp and Sons, Inc. is the contractor for this $9.8 million project. Funding is through the Capital Improvement Sales Tax initiative passed in 2014 and renewed by voters in 2024, and is partially funded through the City, Jasper County ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act), and Joplin Special Road District.

For questions, contact Rob Beachner, Capital Improvements Project Manager, at 417-624-0820, ext. 1543 or rbeachne@joplinmo.or
