MACON – The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission recently awarded a contract to Missouri Petroleum Products, Co. of St. Louis, Missouri, for chip seal projects on Lincoln County Route E, from Lincoln County Route UU to U.S. Route 61, and Lincoln County Route H, from Route E to Missouri Route 47. The total cost of these projects is $483,361.
“Crews will be applying liquid asphalt that helps seal off any cracks that may be in the road, and will then apply small aggregate rock,” said MoDOT Area Engineer Erik Maninga, P.E. “This treatment helps extend the life of the routes,” he added.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane through the work zones while the work is completed. The work could begin as early as this spring and should be completed before next fall.
“A more specific schedule on these projects will be shared after the contractor provides the plan for completing the work,” Maninga added.
