MoDOT to hold meeting to discuss options for washed-out Route T

WAPPAPELLO, Mo. -- The Missouri Department of Transportation will hold an open-house public meeting from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday to discuss a long-term solution for Route T at Lake Wappapello.

The briefing will be held at the Bill Emerson Memorial Visitor Center at 10992 Route T in Wappapello.

Part of Route T was washed out as lake levels topped the dam during the flood in May. Since the flood, MoDOT has constructed a temporary bypass in the area and is working to find a solution with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

During the meeting, MoDOT will present five options for reconstructing Route T. The options range in cost from $1.3 million to $2.1 million.

Information on the options is available at www.modot.org/southeast.
