VAN BUREN, MO: Ozark National Scenic Riverways will be conducting a paving project in the Round Spring area from early March through mid-May. All park roadways and parking areas in the main campground, group campsites, picnic area, and river access points will be paved during this project. Work will primarily be conducted Monday-Friday and will be completed in sections to minimize impacts to park visitors. Work areas will be closed temporarily to provide for visitor and contractor safety during paving.
A tentative paving schedule has been established, but is subject to change due to weather. Please contact park headquarters at (573)323-4236 for updated information on the paving schedule as the project progresses. Tentative schedule is as follows:
