The Missouri Department of Transportation has announced that the Route O bridge over the West Fork Spring River, located west of Lamar, will be closed to traffic for a duration of up to five months starting the week of May 20. The closure is due to the replacement of the current bridge with a new, wider structure aimed at improving safety and traffic flow.

Commuters are advised to plan their routes accordingly and seek alternative paths during this period.
