Forsyth MO. - After what might seem a
very long time for citizens who routinely cross the Bull Shoals
bridge just to the south of Forsyth Missouri, it looks as though the
bridge construction will be wrapping up fairly soon. According to a
communique from MODOT Project Manager, Johnny Teegardin, 'The
completion date for both the roundabout and the bridge projects are
November 1, 2018.
So, by late this coming Fall, things should be back
to 'normal' for commuter traffic. That will be good news for Peggy's
Park Place Market that has seen a small drop off in business due to
all the construction. On a promising note, I also understand from Jay
Kirschenmann, a representative of the Real Estate company that
represented the Shadowrock Hotel, that they had 'Finally sold the
Shadow Rock Lodge in Forsyth Missouri after many showings during the
past year.' He went on to state that they were, 'Talking to the new
owners about starting a Facebook page so that people can follow the
progress of bringing it back to life. Restaurant, lounge, and 21
rooms upstairs!' That would be great news for anyone who works or does business in
or around the Park area!
Now, if the spring of 2019 will just behave herself and we don't get excessive rainfall, perhaps we will see a full Park with lots of happy tourists and locals!
