HANNIBAL – Beginning the week of June 12, weather permitting, resurfacing work begins on Missouri Route 149 in Macon County from Route J in Goldsberry south to U.S. Route 36 near New Cambria. The total length of improvement is 16 miles. This project is anticipated to be completed by mid-July.
The $2.4M contract, awarded earlier this year to Emery Sapp & Sons, includes an additional resurfacing project located on 8.4 miles of Route OO in Macon County. This work will begin immediately following the Missouri Route 149 project and will be completed within 30 days.
“Traffic will be reduced to one lane during the day at the location where crews are actively working for the duration of the project," explained Missouri Department of Transportation Resident Engineer Shane Viers. “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,” he added.
Flaggers and a pilot car will direct motorists through the work zone. Workers will be present during daylight hours, Monday through Friday, weather permitting. A 10-foot width restriction will be in place for the duration of the project. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.
