Commuters in Douglas County should plan to quickly adjust their routes on Wednesday, as a section of Route 181 will be shut down for maintenance work. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) confirmed that crews will be replacing a culvert, which necessitates the road closure. The area affected stretches from County Road 292 to County Road 290, according to MoDOT.
The work is set to occur next Wednesday, weather permitting, and is slated to commence at 7:30 a.m., continuing until 3 p.m. For those used to passing through this area during the day, it's important to seek alternative paths to avoid being caught up in the temporary but unavoidable closure.
Those traveling near the area are advised to stay alert and adhere to the warning signs that will mark the perimeter of the construction zone. "The work zone will be marked with signs. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution while traveling near the area," said MoDOT in their announcement. This proactive approach aims to minimize disruptions and ensure that commuters can effectively navigate around the closed stretch of Route 181.
