BRANSON, Mo., – Highway 165/265 across Table Rock Dam will reopen at 6 a.m. Friday, May 20.  The road was scheduled to reopen May 18 but extra time is needed to complete the repairs on the downstream embankment of the dam.

Repairs were necessary because recent heavy rains have caused surface “skin” slides of topsoil that covers the embankment.  The dam is sound, but the slides needed to be repaired.
Officials at the Army Corps of Engineers Table Rock Project Office said they regret any inconvenience this extension may cause, and they ask for public cooperation until the work is complete.  The officials ask travelers to plan alternate routes and allow extra time to reach their destinations.The closure is being coordinated with emergency services and law enforcement agencies.
