Road closure in Joplin set for stormwater pipe installation

JOPLIN, Mo. (KOAM) -- The city of Joplin announces a daytime road closure for April 30, 2024.

According to the city PIO, Connecticut Avenue just south of 38th Street will be closed to traffic from 9 a.m. until dusk. Drivers will need to use an alternative route, such as Main Street or Range Line Road.

Connecticut Avenue will be open from dusk until 9 a.m. each day.

Work is expected to continue daily through the end of the week.

The Joplin PIO says the closure is due to installation of stormwater pipes under Connecticut Avenue. The city will post signage and message boards alerting drivers.

This project is part of the Connecticut widening project between 32nd Street and the bridge over I-44. It is funded through the 2014 Capital Improvement Sales Tax.
