HANNIBAL – Weather permitting, a resurfacing project located on Route Y in Pike County, from Business Route 61 in Bowling Green to the end of state maintenance, is expected to begin on October 17 and is anticipated to be complete by December 1.
The $4.7M contract, awarded last month to Magruder Paving, LLC of Troy, Missouri, includes several additional resurfacing projects which are scheduled to begin in spring of 2024,with all projects completed by November 1, 2024:
- Audrain/Montgomery County, Route AA – From Route BB to Missouri Route 19 in Wellsville.
- Audrain/Montgomery County, Route BB – From U.S. Route 54 to Missouri Route 161.
- Montgomery County, Route A – From Missouri Route 19 to Missouri Route 161.
These resurfacing projects are included as part of Gov. Parson’s Rural Road program. With the Governor’s signing of the Fiscal Year 2024 budget, an additional $100 million in General Revenue was made available for Missouri’s low volume rural roads. Using asset management data, the Missouri Department of Transportation identified 1,567 lane miles of low volume roads ranked in poor condition. These locations will receive resurfacing treatments of hot mix asphalt to improve the road conditions. The roads have been bundled into several large contracts across the state.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane with a 9-foot width restriction at the location where crews are actively working. Flaggers and a pilot car will be utilized for traffic control to guide traffic through the work zone. Workers will be present during daylight hours. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.
