For people traveling through Springfield heading south to Branson Hwy 65. There is a road closure on the Ozark Mountain Highroad that we recommended. Road is expected to be closed until early May. Here is the current recommendation.
Driving south on Hwy 65.
Exit MO 76/Main St.
The exit ramp loops under W Main St, stay in the right lane which becomes an outside left turn lane.
Turn left on West Main St.
Move to the left lane before getting to the top of the hill.
Stay in the left lane when it splits at the top of the hill. W Main St. now becomes W 76 Country Blvd.
Stay on W 76 Country Blvd for 2.25 miles to Green Mountain Dr.
Turn left on Green Mountain Dr. Yellow Route (Between Price Chopper and McDonald’s)
Continue 2.8 miles to Shenanigans.
Green Mountain Dr. becomes Keeter St near the end.
We are ½ block past the stop sign at the end.
People are tempted to exit the freeway at Hwy 248/Shepherd of the Hills Expy. Most GPS systems will try to take you this way. The route is wonderful except for one very steep uphill near the end that has a stoplight at the top of it at the intersection of Shepherd of the Hills Expy and W 76 Country Blvd. You will get stopped at this light. It’s no fun trying to get an RV moving again once stopped at this light. Even small rigs will have difficulty.
Any questions, give us a call.
We look forward to your visit.
