Route D Through Ha Ha Tonka Could See Improvements, MoDOT Seeks Public Input

CAMDEN COUNTY, Mo. — The Missouri Department of Transportation is holding an online public meeting and comment period for an upcoming pavement improvement project on Route D in Camden and Laclede counties.

The online meeting will be active from April 22 – May 6, though the meeting materials will be available after the meeting has ended.

The current plans include:

Route D

- Asphalt resurfacing from U.S. Route 54 in Camden County to Route E in Laclede County.

- Safety improvements on the 4.75 miles through Ha Ha Tonka State Park will require the acquisition of additional right of way. These safety improvements include:

New shoulders.
Centerline rumble stripes.
Shifting the road away from the historic post office.

At this time, the traffic control plans do not include closing the road. Instead, they call for a lane closure with flaggers directing motorists through the work zone.

The online public meeting and two-week comment period will be held April 22 – May 6. The community and interested parties can explore the proposed improvements and then submit input and ask questions through a multitude of avenues:
