HANNIBAL - Weather permitting, MoDOT crews have scheduled bridge maintenance which will temporarily impact traffic on Missouri Route 161 in Pike County. On April 13-14, the road will be reduced to one lane approximately one quarter mile from each end of the bridge over U.S. 61 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily with a ten feet width restriction in place while work is being completed.
Motorists will need to use caution when traveling through the work zone during these times. This work is weather dependent and could be rescheduled or delayed. Please slow down and be attentive.
Spring is here and highway work zones are beginning to pop up in Missouri. Barrel Bob, MoDOT’s official work zone spokesbarrel, says as you approach a work zone, please don’t drive distracted. Always buckle up and put your phone down for your safety and the safety of highway workers.
