ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The sidewalk improvement project in Purdin and Browning is underway but has faced delays due to weather. The project to help ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), funded in part through the Transportation Alternatives Program, will improve sidewalks and other pedestrian facilities in the two Linn County communities.
Stanton Contracting, LLC, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, plans to follow the below updated schedule:
Browning (Routes MM and O)
- Crews have completed all work on Route MM between Seventh Street and Route 5. Construction has begun on Route O between Route 5 and Alonzo Avenue.
- All work is expected to be complete in late September.
Purdin (Route 5)
- Now scheduled to begin Monday, Oct. 9. Crews plan to begin on the west side of A Street working south towards Ada Street. Once complete, crews will switch to the east side working north from Ada Street to A Street.
- Work is expected to be complete in late November.
Some lane closures will be necessary throughout the project. Motorists are encouraged to use caution and follow all traffic control, flaggers, signs and barricades. All vehicles and personal property will need to be removed from the work area prior to start of construction.
All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
