ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – A project to resurface Caldwell County Route 13 from the south city limits of Hamilton to just north of Route HH in Kingston is scheduled to begin next week. Contractors from Phillips Hardy, Inc., working with the Missouri department of Transportation, will complete the project in three phases beginning on Monday, May 1.
During each phase, the roadway will be closed for a concrete overlay of the roadway and shoulders, guardrail replacement and placement of pavement markings. Crews plan to work weekdays during daylight hours following the below schedule.
Stage 1:
- May 1 through mid-July.
- CLOSED: Mill Creek Drive to Route P.
Stage 2:
- Mid-July through late August.
- CLOSED: Route P to Far West Drive.
Stage 3:
- Early September through November.
- CLOSED: Far West Drive to north of Route HH in Kingston.
During construction, a detour will be in place directing motorists on U.S. Route 36, Interstate 35, Route 116 and Route 13 around the closures. The contractor will maintain access for local traffic during each stage of construction.
A project to replace the Route 13 bridge over U.S. Route 36 at Hamilton is expected to begin in late May. Contractors from Capital Paving & Construction, LLC, working with MoDOT, will close the bridge to all traffic during construction which will also impact access to Route 13 at, and south of the bridge.
