Community Bridge Toll-Free Day: Today, April 30th, 2024 is Community Bridge Toll-Free Day in Lake Ozark.On May 1, 1998, the Lake of the Ozarks Community Bridge opened to traffic and began collecting tolls to repay the bridge construction. Today, 26 years later, the final toll was collected to pay off the bridge and it is now free for all traffic.A ceremony commemorating this occasion was held overlooking the bridge today, with a proclamation delivered by Mayor Newberry naming today as Community Bridge Toll-Free Day. Comments were heard from Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe, the Missouri Highway Commission, and representatives from the Community Bridge Board of Directors.The City is thankful for the visionary leadership that conceived of this project decades ago, and is looking forward to a new era of impact this bridge holds as a toll-free facility, soon to be maintained by the State of Missouri.

Micropaving Project Underway

Over thepast two weeks, residents may have noticed workers from Vance Brothers Construction applying slurry seal and micropaving treatments to roads within their neighborhoods.
 
This project is intended to provide a new driving surface for roadways throughout the community, and will extend the life of these roads for several years. This treatment is typically applied on lower-traffic residential streets.
Funded by a mix of funds received through a local ARPA allocation and the use tax reserve approved by voters in 2020, roadways were selected based on a current state of low to moderate distress and minimal cracking.

As the 2023 micropaving project continues, city staff would like to advise members of the public living or driving on the streets being treated that they should wait until contractors remove “road closed” signs before attempting to use drive lanes.  Sharp turns of wheels from a stopped position, like you may perform when backing out of a driveway, can have a great impact on road surfaces that have not yet cured.

As city staff and the project contractor continue to move forward with this project, we ask that any personal property damages that may occur, or inconsistencies in road surfacing, be shared with Public Works Director Michalik by email at pwd@cityoflakeozark.net.  

Staff has been made aware of a number of small areas that need to be revisited, as well as larger stretches of Arrowhead Drive and Cherry Hill Lane.  The contractor has provided assurance these issues will be resolved.
