Sidewalk Upgrades on Various Routes in Stone, Taney, Lawrence, Jasper & Newton Counties
to Begin the Week of July 20



A project to upgrade sidewalks to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and resurface several routes in Stone, Taney, Lawrence, Jasper & Newton Counties to begin the week of July 20, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

The project includes sidewalk installation and upgrades, entrance upgrades, curb and gutter, and signal upgrades at various locations to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

At times, crews will remove portions of sidewalks and entrances, temporarily replacing them with gravel while new pavement is installed. Drivers are encouraged to use caution when traveling over these gravel surfaces at driveways and business entrances. Contractor crews are coordinating closely with each business to ensure that access remains open throughout construction.

Traffic can expect short-term lane closures and traffic shifts where crews are working.

Contractor crews are scheduled to begin work on Business 13 in Branson West before moving on to Hollister. As work approaches in additional areas, news releases and message boards will provide advance notice to drivers.
