Residents and travelers in Pemiscot County should prepare for a slight detour come Wednesday. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has announced a closure on Route O for essential infrastructure maintenance. Crews will be replacing a culvert under the roadway, a task critical for ensuring the safety and longevity of the traveling surface.
The specific stretch affected runs from County Road 559 to County Road 560, nestled close to the town of Cooter. This project, as noted by MoDOT, will begin on Jan. 8 and is expected to wrap up on Jan. 10, if the weather opts to cooperate. Daily work hours are set from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., so plan your commute accordingly to avoid potential delays.
For those who rely on this route, detour signs and warnings will dot the landscape. MoDOT urges motorists to use extreme caution amid these changes. "The work zone will be marked with signs," reinforces the official MoDOT announcement, reminding travelers of the importance of attentiveness to ensure everyone's safety during the construction period.
