Republic & Springfield, Greene County – Drivers can expect lane closures and occasional traffic delays on I-44 and Greene County Route B and Route MM ramps (exit 70) near Springfield and Republic for a signal installation project beginning Saturday, June 1, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Crews will install signals at I-44 and Route B/MM ramps (exit 70). Signals are phase one of the I-44 and Route B/MM Interchange Improvements.
Signals will remain until phase two, which is currently unfunded. Phase two will include building a “dog bone” roundabout at I-44 and Route B/MM, removal of the phase one signals at I-44 and Route B/MM ramps, realigning the North Outer Road and restriping lanes on bridge over I-44 to include additional third lane capacity.
