*DISTRICT 8, SPRINGFIELD - Drivers can expect nighttime lane closings, bright lights shining and heavy equipment on the move along Kearney Street between Summit Avenue and a point east of Kansas Expressway in Springfield beginning Monday night, September 13.
The Missouri Department of Transportation said the street, carrying Route 744 through Springfield, will be repaired and resurfaced.
The work hours will be 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Friday.
Here's a look at the work schedule:
* On Monday and Tuesday nights, September 13 and 14 -- The top layer of old asphalt will be ground off.
* On Wednesday and Thursday nights, September 15 and 16 -- Crews will repair the pavment.
* On Sunday night, September 19, or Monday night, September 20 -- Crews may begin resurfacing the roadway.

* On Wednesday and Thursday nights, September 22 and 23 -- Pavement striping may be applied to the newly resurfaced road.
Drivers are urged to slow down and be alert in the work zone at night and to be extra careful driving and changing lanes during the day where the pavement work is incomplete.

The project is being done by APAC-Missouri of Columbia for a low bid amount of $363,674.
