County Road Connection at Route 71North of Rich Hill to CLOSE Permanently
Bates County -- Drivers who use 6708th County Road in Bates County will no longer be able to access Route 71 north of Rich Hill beginning Monday, Oct. 15, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
The county road's connection to Route 71 will be removed permanently as part of the progress toward upgrading Route 71 to Interstate 49.
Crews also will remove several crossovers in the Route 71 median north of Rich Hill.
During the work, drivers can expect one southbound lane to be closed on Route 71 where crews are set up working.
The work is part of a larger project to build outer roads north of Rich Hill on both sides of Route 71.
* The west outer road will run between County Road 3778 and the Marais des Cygnes River.
* The east outer road will run between County Road 4016 and Route B at Rich Hill.
Completion is scheduled for early November 2012.
I-49 Wrapup
The outer road construction is in the final group of U.S. 71 projects needed before the highway can be designated as I-49 by the end of 2012.
An interchange project at Vernon County Route TT is under construction to help complete the upgrade.
