Pipe Replacement Project to Cause Delays
For Two Weeks On Route 64 West of Lebanon

MoDOT, District 8, Springfield -- Drivers can expect one-lane traffic and, at times, brief road closings on Route 64 west of Lebanon for two weeks beginning Tuesday, February 22, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

Lebanon maintenance crews will replace eight deteriorating metal pipes underneath the highway between Laclede County Route KK and the Dallas/Laclede county line.

Most of the time, one lane of Route 64 will be closed where the work is being done. Flaggers will stop vehicles and then guide drivers through the project.

At times, the highway will be closed altogether for a few minutes to allow crews to re-position equipment.

The pipe replacement operation is needed to prepare the roadway for resurfacing this summer.

Rain, snow and/or cold temperatures will cause postponements in the project.
