The Missouri Department of Transportation has updated the schedule for resurfacing a  long section of Highway 160 in Ozark and Taney Counties.
The work, originally scheduled for July 9-Aug. 15, has now been rescheduled to occur from Monday, July 23, through Wednesday, Aug. 15. Weather permitting, work will be done from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, including weekends as necessary, according to a MoDOT news release.
Highway 160 will be reduced to one lane with a 10-foot width restriction as contractor crews complete the project, which will resurface Highway 160 from Highway 5 south 5 in Ozark County to Route 125 south in Taney County.
Traffic will be guided through the work zone with the use of a pilot car. The work zone will be marked with signs, and motorists are urged to use caution while traveling near the area.
