St. Joseph, Mo. – A resurfacing project on U.S. Route 36 in DeKalb County is shifting from concrete patching to asphalt work next week. The Missouri Department of Transportation has contracted with Magruder Paving, LLC to complete the project which extends from Route 33 to just east of Grindstone Creek in the eastbound lanes and from Route 33 to Route C in the westbound lanes. The project includes pavement repairs, resurfacing, curb repair and guardrail improvements, as needed.
Concrete pavement repairs are now complete and asphalt repairs and paving are scheduled to begin this week. U.S. Route 36 will remain open through the project, but one lane may be closed in either direction around the repair sites and paving operations. Some of these single-lane closures could remain up around-the-clock in order to allow the pavement to cure.
Some ramps may close during the resurfacing. Advanced notice will be provided for all ramp closures.
Workers will be present during daylight hours, Monday through Saturday, weather permitting. A 12-foot width restriction will be in place for the duration of the project, which is scheduled to be complete in early August.
All work is weather permitting, and schedules are subject to change. MoDOT asks drivers to work with us by always buckling up, keeping your phone down, slowing down and moving over in work zones. Know before you go and check what work zones you might encounter at traveler.modot.org.
