MoDOT is partnering with the city of Springfield and Greene County on an upcoming project to begin Monday.  Construction beginning July 21st on south Campbell Avenue/Route 160, and Plainview Road will expand the area to six lanes.  MoDOT says drivers should expect lane closings at night with most of the work occurring between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., and some daytime delays are also possible.

The project costing around $749,000 will add one lane in each direction on Campbell, north and south of Plainview Road.  A right turn lane, dual left turn lanes, and relocation of the outer roads on either side are expected to improve the flow of traffic. 

Completion of the project is expected by early November.
