Greene & Lawrence Counties – Two state routes in Greene and Lawrence counties are scheduled to be sealed with a mixture of rock and oil beginning the week of June 25, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
The work is tentatively scheduled to begin Friday, June 28. Here’s a look at the locations:
- Route 266 between Greene County Route AB and Missouri Route 96 in Lawrence County near Halltown (13.5 miles)
- Greene County Route O between Missouri Route 13 and Jackson Street in Willard (eight miles)
Weather and/or construction delays could alter the work schedule
Drivers can expect one-lane traffic with flaggers and pilot vehicles directing them through the work zone. Traffic could be stopped for several minutes. Delays are expected. Drivers at side roads should wait for the pilot vehicle before entering the roadway.
Drivers are urged to use caution and reduce their speed when traveling over recently-sealed sections of highways.
A chip-seal is planned for these roads as an economical way to maintain and preserve the roadway. The treatments keep a road from deteriorating and will extend its life.
