Portion of Route 96 east of Oronogo to close June 2nd-4th

If you regularly drive Missouri Route 96, be ready for some delays in early June.

A portion of the highway is slated to be closed between Jasper County Route “O” and County Lane 207 east of Oronogo from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday, June 2nd through 4th.

MoDOT crews will be replacing a deteriorating drain pipe beneath the road. Weather and/or construction delays could alter the work schedule.

Signs and message boards will alert drivers approaching the work zone. Drivers will be able to get to driveways and entrances on either side of the work zone, but will not be able to travel through the work zone.

All lanes will be open at night.
