Lawrence & Greene Counties – A project to upgrade sidewalks to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, along various routes in Lawrence and Greene Counties, to begin the week of July 10, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
At times, driveways and business entrances may be gravel as crews remove sections of sidewalks that run across to install new pavement. Contractor crews, working with the businesses, are ensuring access to all businesses remain open during the work.
