Regional – Economic Development Snapshot
Tri-County Road Projects Planned/Completed | Camden / Miller / Morgan Counties
ROUTE 242/HORSESHOE BEND PARKWAY EXTENSION
The Missouri Department of Transportation has started construction on a new four-lane highway connecting Route 54 in Miller County to Lake of the Ozarks Community Bridge on Route MM in Camden County. The
new roadway will connect to the existing Horseshoe Bend Parkway. The roadway project is approximately
two miles long and will include a raised center median and curb and gutter drainage. An 8ft sidewalk will be
constructed on the north side of the roadway. The highway is known as Route 242. Groundbreaking was on
January 18, 2011 and the project was completed in December 2011.
HIGHWAY 54-OSAGE BEACH EXPRESSWAY
(PORTION) / OSAGE BEACH PARKWAY
In 2011, the first portion of the Osage Beach
Expressway project was completed. This is an
8.5 mile-long expressway that is a four-lane
divided highway connecting Highway 54 to the
Grand Glaize Bridge (first portion). Three new
interchanges join the Expressway to Lake Ozark
and Osage Beach businesses. The old Hwy 54
has been renamed Osage Beach Parkway. The
cost of this Expressway is $150 million dollars of
Federal and State transportation funding. The
final portion of the Expressway was completed
in December 2011.
ROUTE 5 REALIGNMENT WITH SHARED 4-LANE ROADWAY MILLER/LACLEDE COUNTIES
This entire project, from north of Route 7 near Camdenton to Greenfield Road in Lebanon is 18 miles long.
This innovative highway design is a shared 4-lane that allows motorists to pass other vehicles without driving in opposing traffic lanes. The cost of realignment was $53 million in Federal and State transportation
funding. The project was completed in the fall of 2010
ROUTE 5 WIDENING THROUGH SUNRISE BEACH
The Sunrise Beach Route 5 Widening was a cost sharing agreement with MO DOT and the Village of Sunrise
Beach. The project will widen approximately one-mile of Route 5 within the city limits with center turn lane
and widened roadway shoulders. The project was completed in 2010.
ROUTE 7 RESURFACING
Route 7 in Camden County from Route T to Route A was
resurfaced. Completed in 2010.
ROUTE 5-HURRICANE DECK BRIDGE REPLACEMENT
The Highway Commission approved changes in 2011-2015
Statewide Transportation Program that includes the replacement of the Hurricane Deck Bridge to accommodate
two driving lanes with shoulders. The project is scheduled
to start in early 2012 at an estimated cost of $30 million.
Regional – Economic Development Snapshot (Continued)
What’s On The Drawing Board?
THE SHOPPES’ AT EAGLES LANDING
The agreement between Missouri Department of Transportation and developer Gary Prewitt for the right of
way and interchange between the Highway 54 Expressway and the Shoppe’s at Eagles Landing was completed and construction of new shops and stores at Eagles Landing will proceed. The first retail properties
are expected to open in the Fall of 2011 with others to follow in the Spring of 2012.
BAGNELL DAM STRIP REVITALIZATION PLAN
The Bagnell Dam Strip Association is leading the effort to develop a solid comprehensive long-range plan for
the revitalization of the historic Lake Ozark downtown. The Plan will embrace the unique location of downtown Lake Ozark and its significance of being adjacent to the dam, the lake it created and the under-developed Osage River frontage below the dam. Current residents and visitors to the lake do not have general access to the water except for land within the control of the State Parks. A key characteristic of the Plan will be
to create free enhanced access to both the Lake and the River experiences together with the necessary parking spaces for the visitors. The Revitalization Plan includes Hotel facilities, water park amenities, lakeside and
riverside restaurants and retail facilities, indoor/outdoor theaters, an outdoor resort, increased recreational
amenities on the Osage River (rafting, canoeing, and kayaking) as will as public docks and boardwalks at the
Lake. Look for new developments in 2011 on the Bagnell Dam Strip.
HI-POINTE CENTER
Plans for the re-development of the Hi –Pointe Center have been on the agenda for Osage Beach for several
years. After a long process, the city is ready to proceed with the re-development with the addition of a major
grocery store with additional retail space.
Where Is Lake Of The Ozarks? In The Heart Of Missouri And The Midwest

Environment – Lake Of The Ozarks
GEOGRAPHY AND TOPOGRAPHY
The Lake of the Ozarks is nestled predominantly in the hilly, forested terrain of Midwest Missouri. Even though the
landscape can vary from steeply, sloping wooded hills and narrow, stony valleys to gently rolling, prairie-like uplands,
the diversity of the Lake of the Ozarks topography offers a scenic panorama and a range of recreational opportunities.
