NIXA, Mo.– A MoDOT project to widen State Highway 14 had left part of Main Street closed for months. But Thursday morning, the road was finally reopened.
Local businesses said it was just in time.
“It’s definitely been a bit of a ghost town in here,” said _,
The widening project shut the road down back in June. Owners have been frustrated by the project since shortly after it began, voicing concerns over their businesses still trying to recover from COVID-19 disruptions being followed up so soon by parking spots and roadway closures.
