JEFFERSON CITY, Mo – A preventive maintenance project is slated for next week on Route O in Cooper and Moniteau counties. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission awarded a $404,299.48 contract to Vance Brothers, Inc. to apply a seal coat to Route O from Route J in Cooper County to Missouri Route 87 in Moniteau County, a length of 13.158 miles.
Work is currently scheduled to begin Tuesday, Sept. 5 at Route J. Crews plan to progress approximately 5 miles each day for three days, ending at Route 87. For the duration of the project, traffic will be reduced to one lane at the location where crews are actively working. Flaggers and a pilot car will direct motorists through the work zone. Workers will be present from approximately 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day.
Following the application of the seal coat, temporary tabs will be applied until permanent striping is completed. All work is weather dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
MoDOT asks all motorists to work with us by buckling up, putting your phone down, obeying all traffic signs, and slowing down and moving over in work zones. All work is weather permitting and schedules are subject to change. Motorists are advised to use extra caution through work zones, obey all traffic signs, and avoid any distractions.
