St. Joseph, Mo. – Crews from Vance Brothers, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, have postponed their plan to seal coat Route 190 between U.S. Route 65 in Chillicothe and 8 miles west of U.S. Route 65, just west of Route N. Originally planned for this week, the work is now scheduled for Wednesday, April 28, through Monday, May 3. Crews to not plan to work Saturday or Sunday, but may use them as make-up days, if needed.
During the seal coat operation, the roadway will be reduced to one lane with flaggers and a pilot car directing motorist through the work zone. Drivers will experience delays, both directions, as they must wait for a pilot car. Drivers entering from a side road onto the route being sealed must also wait for a pilot car. An 11-foot width restriction will be in place.
A seal coat is a preventative maintenance treatment which rejuvenates the road surface and helps extend the life of the roadway by filling and sealing cracks in the existing asphalt with an emulsified asphalt/aggregate seal. MoDOT does its best to be good stewards of the monies provided by taxpayers. One of the ways is to employ many preventative maintenance methods, such as this.
All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change. Please remember that all work zones are NO PHONE zones. Buckle up. Phone down. Show-Me Zero. Motorist are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones.
