Resurfacing Work Begins May
12
On Route 60/413 West of Republic
MoDOT, District 8, Springfield --
Drivers can expect one-lane traffic and slowdowns along Route
60/413 west of Republic starting Thursday, May 12, when a resurfacing
project begins, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
The top layer of the existing pavement
on short sections of the highway will be ground off Thursday,
May 12, and Friday, May 13, on Republic's west side and along
a 1/4-mile section in Billings.
New asphalt will be laid starting
the week of May 16 unless bad weather causes delays.
Work is scheduled to be completed
by late June.
This project is part of MoDOT's "Smoother,
Safer, Sooner" resurfacing program using Amendment 3 dollars.
The nine-mile long project calls for
resurfacing Route 60/413 between the west city limits of Republic
and the Christian-Lawrence county line just west of where Route
413 turns south toward Crane.
Flaggers will direct drivers through
the work zone where the paving operation is taking place.
Work will be done during daylight
hours, starting as early as possible in the morning and going
as late as possible into late afternoon or early evening.
The roadway will get a new 1-3/4-inch
driving surface.
Journagan Construction
is the prime contractor on Route 60 resurfacing in Greene and
Christian counties. Journagan also will resurface Route 60 into
Monett and I-44 between Halltown and Mount Vernon under the same
$7.9 million contract. Work will begin on those sections later
in the summer.
