For those who rely on Route H for their daily commutes in Franklin County, it's time to map out an alternative route. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has announced a temporary closure of a section of this thoroughfare, specifically between Route AN and Angel Road. The shutdown is scheduled to facilitate the replacement of culvert pipes, as reported by MoDOT.
Mark your calendars for September 16 and September 17. If you're planning to hit the road during these dates, note that construction will run from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., effectively blocking passage during those hours. Those who frequent the area should anticipate the need for detours and potentially longer travel times. It's also worth considering that all construction is weather-dependent, which means dates could shift if mother nature doesn't play ball.
MoDOT has thus far not released specific details regarding detour routes or the extent of expected delays. Travelers using Route H will need to stay vigilant for updates from the department as the closure dates approach. Commuters are advised to check the travel alerts on MoDOT's website or social media pages to get the most current information.
