Districts Impacted
Resurfacing Route D in Camden and Laclede counties will include improvements to the portion of the highway that goes through Ha Ha Tonka State Park. The first 4.75 miles of Route D will include new shoulders and centerline rumble stripes. Additionally, the road will be shifted away from the historic post office. At this time, the traffic control plans do not include closing the road. Instead, the plans include a lane closure with flaggers directing motorists through the work zone.
This project also includes resurfacing Route E in Laclede and Dallas counties from Missouri Route 5 to the end of state maintenance. This work will be done with single lane closures.
PROJECT PROGRESS
The Missouri Department of Transportation is in the process of designing pavement improvements to Route D in Camden and Laclede counties, including the portion through Ha Ha Tonka State Park and to Route E in Laclede and Dallas counties. Shifting Route D will require a temporary easement.
An online public meeting was held April 22 – May 6, 2024. The community and interested parties had multiple avenues to explore the proposed improvements and then submit input and ask questions:
- Online. All meeting exhibits are available on this website and feedback could be submitted using an online form.
- By email – Send your comments to CDCR@modot.mo.gov with the subject line: Camden County Route D Pavement Improvement Project.
- By traditional mail – Comments may be mailed to Missouri Department of Transportation, 1511 Missouri Boulevard, Jefferson City, MO 65109. Please reference: Camden County Route D Pavement Improvement Project.
The project is currently scheduled to be part of MoDOT's September 2024 letting when contractors may submit competitive bids. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission may award the contract as part of their October 2024 meeting and, if the contract is awarded, a notice to proceed date will also be given. That is the earliest date the contractor may begin work.
At this time, the traffic control plans do not include closing the roads but propose lane closures with flaggers directing motorists through the work zone.
These improvements are expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
