Construction on Loop 44 in Sarcoxie expected to cause delays

SARCOXIE, Mo. — Motorists planning to travel through Sarcoxie, Missouri should be aware of upcoming roadwork on Loop 44 (High Street) that is anticipated to cause significant traffic disruptions from Saturday, April 27 to Wednesday, May 1, says MoDOT. The lane closures will occur between Birch Road and the Interstate 44 junction.

The construction activity, scheduled daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., involves paving operations by contractor crews as part of a larger commercial construction project. To accommodate the work, traffic will be reduced to one lane in the affected section of Loop 44.

During these hours, traffic flow will be managed by flaggers, and electronic message boards will be in place to guide and inform drivers as they approach the area. While all lanes will reopen during nighttime hours, MoDOT drivers are still encouraged to consider alternative routes to avoid delays.

Travelers can stay updated on this and other traffic impacts by checking the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Traveler Information Map online. Please note that adverse weather conditions or unforeseen scheduling conflicts may adjust the timing of the roadwork, MoDOT says.
