ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Two upcoming projects will bring a smoother ride for some northwest Missouri travelers. Resurfacing projects are set to begin this week on Route Z in DeKalb County and Route E in Andrew County. Contractors from Herzog Contracting Corporation, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, plan to begin resurfacing DeKalb County Route Z on Thursday, June 8. At approximately 7 a.m., they will close northernmost two miles of the road to all traffic. They will progress south in two-mile sections to U.S. Route 169. During the closure, motorists will need to seek an alternate route.
After Route Z is complete, they will move their resurfacing operation to Andrew County Route E between Route D and U.S. Route 169. They will close one lane of Route E at approximately 7 a.m. on Friday, June 9 and Saturday, June 10. A pilot car will guide motorists through the work zone. They will reopen both lanes at approximately 7 p.m. each evening. The work should take only two days to complete.
Schedules are subject to change. MoDOT encourages all motorists to slow down, buckle up, eliminate distractions and drive safely to ensure everyone is able to Arrive Alive.
