An area of Highway 65 between Branson and Ozark will have another round of lane closures this week as construction continues on this section of highway.

According to a Facebook post from the Missouri Department of Transportation Southwest District, the lane closures between Route EE and the Ozark Mountain High Road begin on Monday and go through the end of the week weather permitting.

The work is the continuation of the project that has been on going the last several months with this week's work focused on guardrail installation, along with placement of permanent road striping and rumble strips. MODOT advises that lane closures will impact both north and southbound traffic during the week.
