OSAGE/GASCONADE/PHELPS COUNTY – In an effort to increase safety and make driving surface improvements on various roadways in Osage, Gasconade and Phelps County, the next phase of an ongoing roadway improvements project will begin next week.
Starting Monday, June 6, a contractor working for the Missouri Department of Transportation will begin installing rumble strips on Route CC from Route 50, south of Linn, to the end of state maintenance. Crews had previously improved the pavement and shoulders of Route CC.
Also beginning June 6, the contractor will be conducting pavement and shoulder improvement work on Route B from Route 28 near Bland to Route 68 in St. James.
This work will require daily lane closures with flaggers and pilot vehicles guiding motorists through the work zones. Signs will be in place to alert motorists of the lane closures. Drivers will need to slow down and obey all signs in work zones.
The project is expected to be completed by November 2021.
This work is weather permitting and could be delayed.
