The widening of Joplin’s West 32nd street nears completion
Progress continues on the City’s widening project of West 32nd Street as work nears completion. Starting this week of November 13, the final surface course of asphalt will be installed on the entire project, from Schifferdecker to Central City.
This work will be accomplished with flagmen stopping traffic from each direction, and delays are to be expected. Installing the final asphalt surface and pavement markings is anticipated to take approximately two weeks.
Drivers are strongly encouraged to utilize alternate routes, as lengthy delays will be encountered.
The City appreciates the public following this recommendation along with their patience and support as this roadway is made safer and more efficient for traffic flow in southwest Joplin. Funding for the project is from the Capital Improvement Sales Tax approved by voters in 2014.
