ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Crews from Vance Brothers, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, plan to seal coat two routes beginning next week:
- Route 129 from Route H near Mystic (Sullivan County) to Route 11 in Linn County, east of Route HH and just south of Winigan
- Linn County Route 11 from Route 129 near New Boston to Business Route 36 in Brookfield.
Crews plan to begin on Route 129 near Mystic, on Wednesday, Oct. 6, progressing south to Route 11, just south of Winigan. They will then seal Route 11 from Route 129 near New Boston to Business 36 in Brookfield. Crews will work five days a week during daylight hours. All work is expected to be complete by the end of October.
During the seal coat operation, the roadway will be reduced to one lane flaggers and a pilot car will direct motorists through the work zone. A 10-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.
