Will the Branson Area Get a New Road?

By
Real Estate Agent with Tri-Lakes Realtors

Taney County is one step closer to an east-west corridor road.

The Taney County Commission recently voted to put an issue on the April 7th ballot concerning a 4.5 mile road which would connect Hollister to Kirbyville. Voters will be able to vote on a 1/4 cent sales tax to pay for the project.

Currently, the only way to Kirbyville is via Highway 76 east or through BB Highway to Coon Creek Road to east 76. This new road would help ease traffic congestion in downtown Branson and on the Lake Taneycomo bridge. However, are the voters willing to incur more sales tax to build this road? We'll find out in April.
