Roadwork is affecting traffic near you

  • Long-term projects: Mill Street is open to northbound traffic only between Main Street and Centennial Boulevard because of reconstruction work. Detour signs are posted to help drivers. On Laura Street in Springfield, southbound traffic is closed between mileposts .120 and .339 for construction, including utility and storm system upgrades, sidewalks, and paving. This closure started June 16 and is expected to last until about August 31. Access from Lindale Drive to Laura Street is also closed. Northbound traffic on Laura Street is still open, and detours are in place. The whole project should be finished by December 31.
