Bagnell Dam Boulevard Resurfacing

The Bagnell Dam Boulevard Resurfacing Project was a comprehensive infrastructure rehabilitation initiative targeting a critical 1.5-mile tourist corridor in the Lake of the Ozarks region. The project encompassed a full 2" mill and overlay reconstruction, addressing approximately 45,000 square yards of roadway, including roadside parking areas, east and westbound traffic lanes, and the center turn lane.

Executing this complex project required strategic planning due to significant operational constraints. The location, situated in a high-traffic tourist destination, demanded a precise, phased construction approach that could accommodate major regional events. With a limited work window, the project team developed a detailed execution strategy focused on maintaining business accessibility and minimizing economic disruption.

Critical to the project's success was a comprehensive traffic management and pedestrian safety plan. Engineers and construction managers implemented rigorous protocols to ensure safe navigation around the work zone while maintaining the area's economic vitality. The technical approach balanced infrastructure improvement with minimal operational interference, successfully rehabilitating a key transportation route without compromising local business activities or visitor experiences.

By addressing critical roadway wear and implementing a strategic, multi-phase reconstruction, the project not only improved physical infrastructure but also enhanced the overall transportation experience for residents and tourists in the Lake of the Ozarks region.
