Ribbon cutting Thursday for Highway 25 improvements in Jackson

U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, Jackson Mayor Barbara Lohr and other officials are scheduled to speak at the Highway 25 ribbon cutting in front of South Elementary School in Jackson at 1 p.m. today. The construction project got underway in May and was intended to alleviate congestion near the school. Improvements made during the project include turning lanes, a wider parking lot entrance and additional parking spaces. A traffic signal is scheduled to be installed later this month. More information on the ceremony is available by calling the Missouri Department of Transportation at 888-275-6636.
