CARTHAGE, Mo. — Here’s a heads-up for Jasper County drivers.
Beginning Monday, city officials say you can expect lane closures on Fir Road at Dr. Russell Smith Way, between I-49 and Chapel Road in Carthage.
According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, crews plan to create a single-lane roundabout that sits west of I-49.
Drivers can expect occasional lane closures, and crews will be directing traffic.
The project has a 1.3 million dollar price tag and is set to be completed by February of next year.
MoDOT officials encourage drivers to find alternate routes.
