🚧 Bridge Replacement to Close Route O near Lamar, MO for Five Months

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. The significance of this project may lead to detours and extended travel times for residents and travelers in the Barton County area. Commuters are advised to plan their routes accordingly and seek alternative paths during this period. Further information can be obtained through MoDOT's official channels or directly from the department's website as indicated in their announcement: https://t.co/hdyQYsx4zu.
