Republic & Springfield – A project to upgrade sidewalks to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, along U.S. Route 60/Missouri Route 413 in Republic and Missouri Route 413 (Sunshine Street) in Springfield, to begin Wednesday, June 23, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
At times, business entrances may be gravel as crews remove sections of sidewalks that run across them so that new pavement can be installed. Contractor crews, working with the businesses, are ensuring access to all businesses remain open during the work.
Drivers are urged to use caution as they travel over gravel at times at business entrances to reach their destinations.
Here’s a look at the project:
- Contractor crews upgrading sidewalks to conform to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, including replacing sidewalk and installing curb ramps and pedestrian signals in areas along U.S. Route 60/Missouri Route 413 in Republic and Missouri Route 413 (Sunshine Street) in Springfield
- The work will be done in these areas:
- U.S. Route 60/Missouri Route 413 between Illinois Street and Route 174 in Republic
- Missouri Route 413 (Sunshine Street) between Scenic Avenue and Kansas Expressway in Springfield
- Driveway concrete replaced in half sections and temporary gravel driveways will be provided to allow access to the property.
Weather and/or construction delays will alter the work schedule.
D&E Plumbing & Heating Inc., Nixa is doing the work for a low bid amount of $1 million.
The project is to be completed by early mid-December 2021.
