New Highway 54 interchange map guides the way - City of Lake Ozark

Page Brothers Presented Key To The City: On December 10th, 2024, during the City of Lake Ozark's Board of Aldermen meeting, Mayor Newberry presented keys to the city to two of Lake Ozark's most influential business leaders. Joe and Mike Page, surrounded by dozens of friends, family, and community members, received this honor in recognition of their nearly five-decade investment in Lake Ozark and their unwavering commitment to its growth and development. The Page brothers' journey began in 1976 when they founded the Leather Man on the Historic Bagnell Dam Strip. Joe, having moved to the lake immediately after graduating from Truman State University, established roots in the community, with Mike following as a permanent resident the following decade. Over the years, their entrepreneurial spirit led them to establish and acquire numerous businesses along the Strip. Today, they continue to own and operate several landmark establishments including Leatherman, Dogpatch, Dogpatch Arcade, and Summer USA, while their past ventures included popular spots like Disco Inferno, Grandma's Candy Kitchen, and Good Time Charlie's. As founding members of the Bagnell Dam Strip Association, both brothers have been instrumental in creating and supporting special events that have become staples of the community. Mike's contributions earned him the Lake of the Ozarks Convention and Visitor Bureau's Partner in Tourism Award and the Lake Area Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Citizen recognition. Joe served on the Lake Ozark Board of Aldermen from 1983 to 1985, first filling a vacancy before winning re-election. He notably became both the first and last paying customer on the Community Bridge, while Mike served on its Board of Directors for several years. "Though a small gesture compared to the impact of their decades of investment and service in our community, we are gracious to present this award to the Page Brothers with all of their supporters present tonight," Mayor Newberry stated. "While we enjoy celebrating the rich history of your impact on our community, we are even more excited to see the future of our city that was made possible by your ongoing contributions and leadership."

New Highway 54 interchange map guides the way

The Highway 54 interchange opened Wednesday, April 21, but any time there is change there is a little confusion – especially for motorists wanting to go to Osage National.

The four-way signaled intersection no longer exists. Now, there are exit ramps for both eastbound and westbound traffic wanting to go to Osage National.

Please refer to the map for clarification. For reference, Eldon is toward the left and Osage Beach is to the right. Osage National is out of sight in the upper righthand corner of the map.

Westbound motorists will exit on the appropriate ramp, then follow the arrows and signage through two roundabouts. Follow the arrows around newly constructed roundabouts to Osage Hills Road.

Eastbound motorists will take the exit ramp, go through one roundabout and then onto Osage Hills Road.

Motorists wanting to access Bagnell Dam and Lake Ozark can take the appropriate exit ramps, follow arrows and signage through the roundabout.

Again, please refer to the map.

Just remember: Don’t anticipate turning where the traffic signals were located. They are gone.
