Heads up, late-night drivers: you're going to need to plan out a detour if you're cruising through Springfield tonight. MoDOT has announced that the westbound Missouri Route 360 to the westbound I-44 on-ramp will be closed from midnight to 3 a.m. tomorrow, for some immediate guardrail repairs.
While the specific patch of road getting this midnight fix is the stretch linking westbound travelers from James River Freeway to I-44, MoDOT hasn't laid out a signed detour for you, instead they're banking on local drivers’ knowledge of the area to circumvent the temporary roadblock, signs and message boards will be set around the closure to give you a fair warning, so eyes open and mind your speed.
The timing might be a bit of a hassle if you're out late for Halloween shenanigans or just clocking out from a late shift, but safety's the name of the game here, so MoDOT's crews are working those witching hours to get things fixed up with minimal disruption. And of course, you savvy commuters can always take a quick gander at MoDOT’s Traveler Information Map for live updates to stay on top of road closings and traffic updates.
