If you plan to use Maries County Route Z next week, be aware that a section of the road east of County Road 322 will be closed for culvert maintenance. Announced by the Missouri Department of Transportation, the closure is scheduled on Tuesday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. County Road 322 will remain open during this time.
For those residing along that stretch, there’s the small consolation that while the through traffic will be re-routed, local property access will remain intact. Despite this accessibility, the inconvenience for the average commuter is clear. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and find alternative routes during a the hours of work.
The schedule may change depending on the weather, as MoDOT has noted. They ask for patience from the community during this time.
MoDOT reminds motorists to buckle up, avoid using phones, follow traffic signs, and slow down and move over in work zones. These safety measures are important to help prevent accidents in work areas.
