Jasper County – Drivers can expect one-lane traffic when a project to resurface Jasper County Route MM begins the week of August 17, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Contractor crews will lay a new asphalt surface along an approximately 1.7-mile stretch of Route MM between Missouri Route 96 and Jasper County Route D in Oronogo.
Traffic Impacts:
- Traffic reduced to one lane where contractor crews are laying asphalt
- Drivers will encounter pilot cars where crews are working. Drivers should wait for the pilot vehicle before proceeding through the work zone or before entering the work zone from a side road.
- Use caution when traveling through the work zone and watch for crews and equipment on the road
- No signed detours
- Drivers are urged to find alternate routes around the work zone
- Signs and message boards will alert drivers to the work zone
Weather and/or construction delays will alter the work schedule.
This is part of a larger project that includes resurfacing Jasper County routes M and H and Newton County Route CC. Routes M and H have been completed and are open to traffic. More information about Route CC will be announced closer to the start of that project.
