Benton County – Drivers can expect one-lane traffic and occasional traffic delays when a project to resurface sections of Routes B, M and BB in Benton County begins the week of June 15, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
All routes will receive new asphalt driving surfaces and new pavement striping.
Here is a tentative look at the project schedule starting the week of June 15:
- Route BB – beginning at Route 65 north of Warsaw, traveling east approximately 16 miles to Waterview Drive near the Osage River
- Route B – from Route 52 in Cole Camp, traveling south approximately 16 miles to a point south of Benton County Route H near the Osage River
- Route M – beginning at Hastain Avenue near the Osage River, moving south approximately 10 miles to Missouri Route 7
Drivers also can expect flaggers and pilot cars directing them through the work zones. Drivers should wait for the pilot vehicle before proceeding through the work zone or before entering the work zone from a side road.
Crews will work 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Drivers are urged to use caution as they may experience a rough ride in areas until the resurfacing project is complete.
Signs and message boards will alert drivers to the work zone.
Weather and/or scheduling delays will alter the work schedule.
