Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Will MoDOT close the road during construction?
A: For the concrete overlay from Kingston to Mill Creek Road in Hamilton: Yes, in order for the contractor to lay the concrete overlay, and the need of adequate concrete cure time, the roadway will be closed in three different phases in order to complete the project (segments listed below). A detour will direct motorists to use U.S. Route 36, I-35 and Route 116 during the closure. The contractor will work with residents within each work zone to maintain property access during construction.
- Mill Creek Road to Route P
- Route P to Far West Drive
- Far West Drive to just north of Route HH in Kingston
For the resurfacing from Mill Creek Road in Hamilton to Route 6 in Gallatin: It is expected that construction will be completed under single-lane closures. The roadway would remain open, but motorist should anticipate delays.
