HANNIBAL - Weather permitting, the west bound Interstate 70 trucking parking only lot at Mineola will close Monday, May 17 at 7 a.m. and will reopen around noon as Missouri Department of Transportation crews will make significant pavement repairs to the area. “After the westbound parking lot is completed, we will move to the eastbound lot, so it will close around noon with the expectation to reopen by 4 p.m.,” explained MoDOT Area Engineer Erik Maninga.
“We have a contractor who manages the temporary repairs, and we are now going in to make all the permanent repairs needed to the surface,” Maninga said.
