Roadwork in Ozark County

Contractor crews are scheduled to begin work to improve U.S. Route 160 in Ozark and Howell Counties.

The project includes pavement overlay and adding rumble strips from south Missouri Route 5 in Ozark County to Missouri Route 101 in Howell County. Motorists should anticipate a lane reduction with a 10-foot width restriction.

Weather permitting, work will begin Wednesday and continue through June 17 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day, including weekends as necessary.

As construction is underway, flaggers will be present, and traffic will be guided through the work zone by a pilot car.

The work zone will be marked with signs. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution while traveling near the area.
