SAINT JAMES, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Transportation is holding an online public meeting to share information about an upcoming project on a section of Route 68 from Interstate 44 to the east junction of Missouri Route 8 within the city of St. James.
Information about the project is available at www.MoDOT.org/Central/Route68StJames.htm.
The project, which is a cost-sharing partnership between MoDOT and the city of St. James, will include a surface treatment that will extend the life of the pavement.
