Missouri Prepping For One Of The Busiest Road Construction Seasons In History

(MISSOURINET) – Missouri is prepping for one of its busiest road construction seasons in history. Ed Hassinger (like a country singer), deputy director of the Missouri Department of Transportation, says roughly four-thousand to five-thousand maintenance and contracted workers will be out working on the roads each day…

Hassinger also says heavy reconstruction is going on between St. James and Rolla (RAW-la) on I-44, and there’s a bridge replacement is underway between Joplin and Springfield on I-44. He wants drivers to be extra cautious in work zones and to check out the MoDOT Traveler Information Map for details about construction projects that may delay travel.
