Bates County – Drivers can expect lane closures and occasional traffic delays on Bates County routes Y, AA, E and D for a resurfacing project beginning the week of October 23, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
This is the work being done on this project:
- Route Y
- Segment 1 from Missouri Route 52 north approximately 6 miles to Bates County Route J near Amsterdam
- Segment 2 from Missouri Route 18 west approximately 1.4 miles to Missouri/Kansas state line near Merwin
- Route AA from I-49 west approximately 14 miles to Route 18 southwest of Drexel
- Route E from I-49 east approximately 3.6 miles to end of state maintenance north of Adrian
- Route D from Business Loop 49 (Park Street) in Passaic east approximately 12 miles to Bates County Route BB
Contractor crews will add an overlay of new asphalt to the above routes along with new permanent striping.
Traffic impacts:
- Traffic reduced to one lane where contractor crews are laying asphalt
- Drivers will encounter flaggers and pilot cars where crews are working. Drivers should wait for the pilot vehicle before proceeding through the work zone or before entering the work zone from a side road.
- Work will be done during daytime hours; all lanes open to traffic at night
- No signed detour
- Drivers should find alternate routes
- Signs and message boards will alert drivers approaching the work zone
- Check MoDOT’s Traveler Information Map for road closings/traffic impacts
Drivers are urged to use caution as they may experience a rough ride in areas until the resurfacing project is complete.
Weather and/or scheduling delays could alter the work schedule.
