MACON – The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission recently awarded a contract to W. L. Miller Company, of Hamilton, Illinois, for projects on Missouri Route 15 in Knox and Scotland Counties in the amount of $2,635,410.20. The projects are:
Route 15 – resurface from U.S. Route 136 west junction at Memphis to Missouri Route 6 north junction in Edina with sidewalk work in Edina north of MO 6, the total length of improvement being 22.307 miles.
Route 15 – add shoulders from U.S. 136 west junction at Memphis to MO 6 north junction in Edina, the total length of improvement being 21.788 miles.
“The resurfacing project on MO 15 will include a 1-inch overlay with 2-foot paved shoulders to increase safety,” said MoDOT Area Engineer Amy Crawford.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane through the work zones while the work is completed. The work could begin as early as this spring and should be completed before the fall.
“A more specific schedule on these projects will be shared after the contractor provides the plan for completing the work,” Crawford added.
