Drivers in Miller County should expect a closure on Route U for culvert replacement next week. The road will be closed from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on October 22, just north of the junction with Route EE, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.

The work is part of routine maintenance and may change depending on the weather. Through traffic will be affected, but local property owners will still have driveway access, as reported by the Missouri Department of Transportation.

Missouri Department of Transportation reminds drivers to follow safety rules in work zones, including "buckling up, putting your phone down, obeying all traffic signs, and slowing down and moving over in work zones." Motorists traveling on October 22 should expect delays and plan extra time. "Motorists are advised to use extra caution through work zones, obey all traffic signs, and avoid any distractions."
