Heads up Branson commuters: Your trip might hit a slight kink on Missouri Route 165 and Green Mountain Drive, particularly if you're planning a left turn. According to the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), there's a bit of road work scheduled that could snarl traffic for a short while today.
Branson drivers take note: the left turn lanes at the intersection of Missouri Route 165 and Green Mountain Drive will be out of commission from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., as MoDOT crews get busy converting left turn signal heads to include a flashing yellow arrow, so while you'll still be able to breeze through on Missouri Route 165 and Green Mountain Drive, taking that left turn might require a little patience—and a bit of a wait. The closures won't drag on all at once but expect up to an hour of downtime for any specific left turn lane and keep an eye out because those signals will be blinking on and off at times.
No alternative routes are signed for this detour, but savvy locals will likely dodge the area just fine, albeit those who miss the signs or the message boards might end up scratching their heads in momentary confusion just remember while the intersection remains open, those left lanes won't be, and with crews and their gear playing in traffic's backyard, a careful drive is a smart play.
For those in search of up-to-the-minute traffic info, MoDOT's Traveler Information Map is always there to lend a hand just a click away, offering real-time updates on road closures and traffic conditions.
