Ava, MO. – According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, construction will begin next month in Ava, MO., and it’s expected to impact Route14/Business Route 5.
Route 14/Business Route 5 in Douglas County will be closed as contractor crews construct a new roundabout at the intersection of Route 14, Business Route 5, N. Jefferson Street and Bacorn Avenue in Ava, Missouri.
The Route 14/Business Route 5 closure will extend from Lyle Street to Dean Avenue. During this time, changeable message boards and detour signs will be in place.
