ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Transportation is reminding drivers that a resurfacing project on Route 6 is scheduled to begin Monday, March 16. MoDOT contracted with Herzog Contracting Corp. to complete the resurfacing of Route 6 from just west of Route AC (Riverside Road) to Route 31.
Pavement repair with lane closures will begin Monday, March 16. Flaggers will be used to direct motorists around the lane closures. This part of the project will run through April 2.
Paving will begin April 14. Route 6 will be narrowed to one lane around the paving operations with a pilot car leading drivers around the work zone.
A 10.5-foot width restriction will be in place for the duration of the project.
During daylight hours Monday through Saturday, crews will be on site and the work zone will be active. Some work may occur on Sundays, if necessary, to complete the project on schedule. The contractor plans to be complete with all work by the end of May 2020.
Signs will be in place alerting motorists of the work and planned lane closures. All work is weather permitting and could be rescheduled.
All work zones are No Phone Zones. MoDOT encourages all travelers to slow down and pay attention, especially in work zones, as there will be large equipment and workers near the driving lanes.
