  • Add northbound right turn lane
• Reconfigure center left turn lanes on Route 43 (Main Street)
• Loop 49 (Range Line Road) and Jasper County Route TT (Newman Road)
  • Slightly widen right turn lanes
  • Install new street lighting
• Missouri Route 43 (Main Street) and Fountain Road
  • Replace current traffic signals with new ones on poles and mast arms

This project also includes installing new signs and permanent striping.
