The Missouri Department of Transportation recently approved funding for a project to relieve traffic congestion in Forsyth at the intersection of Highway 160 and Coy Boulevard.

The intersection will be widened about 12 feet and a turn lane will be added. The turn lane will allow traffic to proceed instead of lining up behind a motorist making a left hand turn.

The project may start in Spring 2009, depending on when bids are let. If started in the spring, completion is expected to be in the fall.
