MoDOT to close Route D for up to eight weeks

Does your daily commute take you north on Route D? If so, you may want to find a different route in the next coming weeks. With the soar in fuel costs, a detour taking motorists to Route 71 HWY is an unlikely alternative. But in reality that could be the only one available. MoDOT plans to shut down Route D’s populated stretch of roadway in an effort to reconstruct while saving dollars in the long run.
Reconstruction of Route D between Route 150 and Route 58 is expected to begin by mid-summer and completed before fall, but through traffic will be shut off for up to eight weeks and only local access permitted.
