Changes coming to Neosho Boulevard/Daugherty Road in Neosho

Neosho, MO – Drivers will no longer be able to make left turns from Daugherty Road on to Business Route 60 (Neosho Boulevard) or cross the highway when MoDOT maintenance crews make changes to the traffic flow at the intersection overnight on Sunday, March 19.

That’s according to the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT).

MoDOT crews will install traffic control devices in the center turn lane on Business Route 60 that will prevent drivers on Daugherty Road from both turning left on to Business Route 60 or driving across the highway.

However, drivers will still be able to turn left from the center turn lane on Business Route 60 onto Daugherty Road.

The changes are being made to improve safety by reducing the chances of right-angle crashes at the intersection.

The changes will be made to the intersection between 7 p.m., Sunday, March 19 and 7 a.m., Monday, March 20.

Weather or scheduling delays could alter the work schedule.
