Most of the traffic into Branson comes from travelers heading Southbound into the city but traffic Northbound from Arkansas can be just as congested - at least until the interchange was created. The expansion in Hollister is part of a larger project expanding lanes to the Arkansas - Missouri Border. Though, Thanksgiving is the holiday mostly ignored ,Hollister City Administrator Rick Ziegenfuss was generous with the cities thanks as he addressed the public yesterday from College of the Ozarks. Rick expressed his gratitude towards the city of Branson, Construction Workers, County Commissioners, Senator Kit Bond and others during the dedication of the highway and interchange. Ron Herchend said. "This is an example of what we can do when we work together", as he discussed the process of gathering funds from various levels of government after the presentation.
Dedication of the new interchange included a parade of cars from several era's of Hollister's Development from CofO to the Flyover
