MoDOT releases construction guide

JEFFERSON CITY – The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has released a 2025 Central District Construction Guide.

With hundreds of projects across the 18 counties of MoDOT’s Central District, drivers may encounter some type of construction this year on many of the routes they use daily.

While the list is extensive, the guide does not include every project for 2025 but instead focuses on those with traffic impacts that are being done by contractors.

Most of these are taking care of the existing system, including projects that rehabilitate bridges, replace signals, improve intersections and resurface roadways.

To see the current active work zones, visit Traveler.modot.org

Make sure you click the ‘future workzones’ layer on the left-hand menu to see work scheduled to be performed by both MoDOT personnel and contractors in the next seven days.

The work listed below includes projects in Camden, Miller and Morgan Counties. Also include is Laclede County since some of the projects may impact Camden County drivers who use the roads leading into Laclede County.
