Upcoming Closure at Elm and Commercial Streets for Intersection Upgrades

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has announced that the intersection of Missouri Route 97 (Elm Street) and Route 37 (Commercial Street) in Pierce City will be closed. This closure is scheduled from Tuesday, May 28, 2024, to Wednesday, June 5, 2024, for intersection improvements. The work includes upgrading the intersection to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as part of a larger project to improve sidewalks in Christian and Lawrence Counties for better pedestrian safety and accessibility.

During the closure, contractor crews will work on the intersection, and MoDOT advises drivers to use alternative routes since the intersection will be completely closed. MoDOT will not provide signed detours but encourages motorists to check its Traveler Information Map for traffic updates.
