Missouri Department of Transportation to Install Traffic Barriers Following Route 367 Crash
A head-on crash occurred on Missouri Route 367 near Chambers Road in Bellefontaine Neighbors, Missouri, just days before the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is set to install new traffic barriers. The crash, which happened at 10:42 p.m., resulted in the temporary closure of both northbound and southbound lanes. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported that one person was ejected from a vehicle, though the extent of injuries remains unknown. The area has been the site of multiple deadly accidents this year, including a multi-vehicle crash in May that killed three women. MoDOT's study of Route 367 revealed that over 76% of drivers exceed the speed limit, particularly in the northern part of the corridor. The installation of traffic barriers, scheduled to begin Wednesday, aims to reduce the road to one lane in each direction between Country Drive and Comet Drive, south of Interstate 270. MoDOT is also considering additional safety measures for the area.
