Hannibal - Weather permitting, the week of September 6, contractor crews will start work on U.S. Route 24 in Marion County between the U.S. 61 interchange and West Quincy Memorial and Bayview bridges at West Quincy.
"The project includes diamond grinding and concrete repairs with all work occurring during nighttime hours from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. when traffic volumes are lower," explained Missouri Department of Transportation Area Engineer Jeff Kroner.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane with a reduced speed limit at the location where crews are actively working for the duration of the project. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.
"This route carries a considerable volume of local traffic. We ask that motorists please be attentive in work zones and put down your cell phones to eliminate distractions for your safety and the safety of highway workers,” Kroner added. Signs and message boards will be in place to alert motorists, as schedule changes occur. All work is scheduled to be complete by late October.
This contract was awarded last fall to Emery Sapp and Sons of Columbia, Missouri in the amount of $725,803.
