Work has begun to improve a dangerous section of U.S. Route 160 in Ozark County just west of Tecumseh. The Missouri Department of Transportation project will widen approximately 1 mile of roadway, realign two curves, add guardrails on the south side of Route 160 and add paved shoulders.
The work is being done from the Lake Norfork bridge west to near Ozark County Road 530.
The highway will be reduced to one lane while work is being done, which may include some weekends.
Traffic will be guided through the work zone by flaggers and a pilot car. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution while traveling in the area.
The project started Monday and is expected to be completed by Nov. 1.
