ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The following is a listing of general highway maintenance and construction work in the Northwest Missouri region planned for the week of Dec. 25 – 31 from the Missouri Department of Transportation. In addition to the work listed below, there may be pothole patching, shoulder work, bridge maintenance, brush cutting, guardrail repairs and other road work conducted throughout the region. Many of these will be moving operations and could include lane closures with delays. All scheduled maintenance and construction projects are subject to change.

MoDOT will halt temporary lane closures throughout the state to accommodate an increase in traffic due to the Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays. Most temporary lane closures will be removed by noon on Friday, Dec. 22, and will resume Tuesday morning, Dec. 26. For the New Year’s Day holiday lane closures will be removed by noon on Friday, Dec. 29 and will resume Tuesday morning, Jan. 2.   Some long-term lane and road closures may remain in place.

MoDOT reminds the public to stay alert, watch for road work, buckle up, slow down, and drive with extreme caution through work zones and in changing weather conditions.
