Lane Closed Aug. 2-3 on Route 64
Near Bennett Springs State Park

MoDOT, District 8, Springfield -- Drivers can expect one-lane traffic on Route 64 just west of Bennett Springs State Park west of Lebanon on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 2-3, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

MoDOT maintenance crews will replace a deteriorating 24-inch drain pipe located 8 to 9 feet below the road surface.

Along with the one-lane traffic, drivers can expect a narrowed driving lane.

Flaggers will direct traffic through the work zone to be set up about 7-tenths of a mile west of the Laclede-Dallas county line.

Crews plan to work between 7 a.m. and dusk each of the two days.

Route 64 will be open to two-way traffic at night during the project, although drivers will have to cross a short stretch of gravel where the pavement is temporarily filled in until asphalt is laid.

Electronic message boards and orange signs will alert drivers to the operation.
