HANNIBAL – As early as this week, weather permitting, contractor crews with W.L. Miller Company will begin resurfacing 27.2 lane miles on Route J in Adair County from Route A to Missouri Route 6.
These routes are part of Gov. Parson’s Rural Road program. The state’s approved Fiscal Year 2023 budget provided an additional $100 million in General Revenue for work on Missouri’s low volume rural roads. Using asset management data, MoDOT has identified approximately 1,700 lane miles of low volume roads ranked in Poor Condition. A total of 113 locations were identified to receive resurfacing treatments of hot mix asphalt to improve the road conditions.
- Scotland/Schuyler County, Route T – From Route A in Schuyler County to Missouri Route 15 in Scotland County (20.6 lane miles)
- Adair County, Route K – From Missouri Route 6 to Missouri Route 11 (17.3 lane miles).
Traffic will be reduced to one lane at the location where crews are actively working with flaggers and a pilot car utilized for traffic control to guide traffic through the work zone. Workers will be present during daylight hours. All work will be completed by June 30, 2023.
For the safety of the crews and the traveling public, drivers are reminded to be attentive in work zones and put down your cell phones to eliminate distractions. Signs and message boards will be in place to alert motorists, as schedule changes occur. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.
Work with us in the work zone. Please remember to obey all work zone signs and personnel. All work zones are online at www.modot.org/northeast, and you can receive the latest news about road work in your area by signing up for e-updates.
