Head to Head Traffic on
Interstate 44, Phelps County Starts This Week
Alert: Traffic Moving
Head to Head on Thursday, October 1
Willow Springs, Mo. - The
Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has announced
that the westbound lanes of Interstate 44, between the
Kingshighway (mile marker 184) and Sugar Tree exits (mile
marker 176), are scheduled close for construction this week.
Weather permitting, traffic will be put head to head in the
eastbound lanes, beginning Thursday October 1.
According to South Central
Assistant District Engineer Jeff Johnson, once the westbound
lanes close, delays are expected to significantly increase.
"With the westbound lanes closed, motorists can expect
delays of 45-60 minutes during peak travel periods," he
said. Peak travel times for this area include Friday and
Sunday afternoons from 2 p.m to 7 p.m.
Traffic is expected to
remain head-to-head from Route E to Sugar Tree through the
end of November, with posted speed restrictions. Motorists
are urged to use alternate routes whenever possible.
Alternate routes include:
From Branson: Follow
Route 65 North to Route 60 East, take Route 63 North to
bypass the construction area.
St. Louis to the Lake
of the Ozarks: Follow Route 50 West to Route 54 South.
From St. Louis to
Branson: Follow Interstate 44 to Route 63 South, Take
Route 60 West to Route 65 South.
This project also includes
several tentatively scheduled ramp closures:
Kingshighway westbound
ramp is scheduled to close for approximately 5 days in
early October.
Route E onramp in the
westbound direction is scheduled to close for
approximately 5 days in early October.
Route T (Doolittle
Exit) westbound onramp scheduled to close from September
22 through November 22.
Route T off-ramp in
the westbound direction scheduled to close for
approximately 5 days in mid October.
Sugar Tree off-ramp is
scheduled to close for approximately 5 days in late
October
The closure of the westbound
lanes is necessary to construct 8" of concrete overlay on
the 9.076 miles included in the resurfacing project. This
project does involve lane reduction and while working, crews
will be on or near the roadway. Motorists are urged to use
extreme caution when traveling through the area.
