Starting Monday, April 7, 2025, 20th Street will be closed between Iron Gates Road and Country Club Drive as the first construction of the 20th Street widening project begins.
This is a full-road closure with detours posted by the City of Joplin. Residents of the closed area will have access only through the east end of the closure.
This capital improvement will widen approximately two miles of West 20th Street from two lanes to three lanes from Schifferdecker Avenue to Central City Road. This project includes intersection improvements at both Country Club Drive and Central City Road and will add curbs and gutters, along with a shared-use path for pedestrians and cyclists along the entire project.
Emery Sapp and Sons, Inc. is the contractor for this $9.8 million project. Funding is through the Capital Improvement Sales Tax Initiative, which was passed in 2014 and renewed by voters in 2024. This initiative is partially funded through the City, Jasper County American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), and Joplin Special Road District.
