MORGAN/PULASKI/WASHINGTON COUNTY – A contractor working for the Missouri Department of Transportation will soon begin the next phase of a high friction surface treatment project that increases motorist safety on several busy mid-Missouri roadways.
Starting Monday, June 6, crews will begin applying the treatment to curves at various locations along Morgan County Route W, Pulaski County Route T and westbound Interstate 44 between mile marker 159 near St. Robert and mile marker 156 near Waynesville. Surface treatment work at all locations is scheduled to be complete in three weeks. The work will take place during daily work hours with intermittent, single-lane closures where crews are operating. The I-44 work will take place during overnight hours and will also require intermittent, single-lane closures.
Once this work has been completed, crews will move onto treating curves at various locations along both directions of Route 21 in Washington County during daily work hours. Crews have already begun treating curves at various locations along both directions of Interstate 70 in Boone and Callaway Counties.
Signs will be in place to alert motorists of the daily lane closures and flaggers will be used to guide motorists through the work zones. Drivers will need to slow down and obey all signs in work zones.
The complete project is expected to be completed by July 1.
This work is weather permitting and could be delayed.
