Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted July 6, 2007 Root Admin Posted July 6, 2007 They're taking one of the bridges out at this exchange so if you're planning a trip to Branson, take another route. Traffic is supposed to be backed up for miles. If you're coming from the west, take James River Express, highway 60 and loop south of Springfield. Not sure about people from the east... but I'd avoid this intersection at all costs. Driving 20-30 miles out of the way is much better than sitting in traffic for 2-3 hours.
twosets Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Hey Phil Which days and when will it reopen? Mom & Dad are headed that way some time the earily pat of next week. George "This is not Nam. This is bowling. There are rules."
skeeter Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Go to the MoDOT website. Details are thoroughly covered there including detours.
Terry Beeson Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 From the east, you can take the Hwy B exit (exit 96) and take Hwy B south, or go on to Strafford and take exit 88 and get on 125 south. Both will take you to Hwy 60. Go west on 60 to the 60/65 interchange. I would bet the Strafford exit will be a bit crowded, but still better than going on to the 65/I-44 interchange.

MOBass Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 The exit for Division is also closed for North bound traffic. It looks like that is part of the detour. Kearney will be closed also but was open as of 8:30A Saturday morning. Watch your speed because the five o is out in force.
Terry Beeson Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 I avoid that area like the plague anyway... Construction or no construction. But it WILL definately be better once they git 'er dun!!!

gonefishin Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 One thing for sure the three days it is closed, are going to be ..uhhh..interesting. I would rather be fishin'.
