Route 32 to close east of Salem for vehicle removal June 8-9

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The removal of a crashed vehicle from the roadside of Missouri Route 32 east of Salem will require a 12-hour roadway closure . To minimize impacts to traffic using this route as a detour for the closure of Dent County Route B and the narrowing of U.S. Route 63 south of Rolla, the closure is planned during the overnight hours June 8 - 9.

Beginning as early as 7 p.m. on June 8, the towing company, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation , will close Route 32 between Route 72 south and County Road 4350. A signed detour will not be in place, but motorists should use Routes 72, A and 19 to navigate around the closure.

The roadway is expected to reopen by 7 a.m. on June 9 . D ue to the amount of equipment and effort involved in remov ing this oversized, heavy vehicle from the roadside, that timing may change.

A ll work is weather permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
