HANNIBAL – Temporary traffic impacts are anticipated beginning the week of September 12, weather permitting, as resurfacing work begins on Route TT in Warren and St. Charles counties from Missouri Route 94, near Dutzow in Warren County, to Route T in St. Charles County.
“Work will take place during nighttime hours, Monday through Friday between 7:00 p.m. – 6:00 a.m. when traffic volumes are lower. While workers are present, the road will be closed to through traffic with only local residential traffic and emergency vehicles allowed," explained Missouri Department of Transportation Area Engineer Jeff Niemeyer. Traffic will be detoured over Warren County Route D and Missouri Route 47. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change. The length of this improvement is 3.5 miles and is anticipated to be completed within approximately one week.
“For the safety of the crews and the traveling public, we would like to remind drivers to be attentive in work zones and put down your cell phones to eliminate distractions,” Niemeyer added.
The $1.9M contract, awarded last year to Pace Construction Company, includes two additional projects at the following locations:
- Route A in Lincoln/Warren Counties – Resurfacing from Route DD in Lincoln County to I-70 near Pendleton in Warren County. The total length of improvement is 12.9 miles. Workers will be present during daylight hours. Resurfacing operations are tentatively scheduled to begin the week of September 19. All work will be completed within 30 days.
- Route U in Lincoln and Warren counties – Resurfacing from Route 47 to Route J south junction near Troy. The length of the improvement is 8.9 miles. (Complete)
With an increased number of highway work zones in Missouri, it is super important all drivers pay attention every second while driving, especially through a work zone. Be informed of your route by checking the MoDOT Traveler Information Map before you leave to see if you will encounter any work zones. You can also subscribe to counties, various routes or even projects online at Customer Service Signon (mo.gov). Be sure you and all your passengers are buckled up, and please put the phone down while driving.
