Bull Shoals Bridge project - Traffic flow - Video 1!

Stoplights needed at Highways 160 and Y?
![]() |
Proposed roundabout! |
Forsyth MO. – After a clean
start on the Bull Shoals bridge project by both MODOT and Lehman
Construction, it seems that all is well. Traffic problems have been
reduced as much as possible considering the sheer size of the project
and even the weather has been kind. So, I'm guessing somewhere down
the road, say about seven to eight months from now, Taney County
residents will have themselves a brand new bridge and roundabout.
Once finished, I feel that the increased traffic loads expected over
time will sail through that intersection in fine style!
But, there always seems to be a fly in
the ointment and sure enough a friend, Scott Novak, asked me a
question that made me take pause. He mentioned that during the rush
times, both in the mornings and evenings, Highway 160 sees a large
influx of cars, truck and school buses. Long line can often happen
for traffic heading up the hill at Y Highway! He then wondered how
much worst that could get with any increase in the rate of traffic
flow at the Highway 76-160 junction where the roundabout will be
created!

Charlie's in Forsyth to close for good!
Sunday, October 1, 2017 will be the
last day for Charlie's Steak Ribs and Ale. The establishment will close
for about a week and reportedly reopen on Sunday, October the 8th!
When it does reopen, there will be
changes including a new name – C and C's Pizza and Pub (?) with menu changes in the types of fare offered to the public. Look for some new menu items
including a salad bar, a buffet and pizza!
Personally, I think the changes will be
fun and readily accepted by the local eating crowd.
Update: October 2, 2017 - I just learned that Charlie's, in Forsyth, has closed permanently...Perhaps the owner was in deeper trouble than was suspected (my opinion)... As of July 2018, the establishment still stands empty... February 29, 2020 - The business was under contract, but that fell through. www.taneyweather.com
