ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Caldwell County Route 13 from Mill Creek Drive to Route P is now open. Contractors from Phillips Hardy, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, closed the roadway in May 2023 to begin Stage One (Mill Creek Drive to Route P) of a project to repave Route 13 from the southern city limits of Hamilton to north of Route HH in Kingston.
While the roadway is open to all traffic, there are still some items of work that remain to be completed before construction ceases for the winter season. As crews continue work on Stage One, there will be work zones closing the shoulder and the roadway may be intermittently narrowed to one lane with flaggers guiding motorists through. A 16-foot width restriction will be in place.
Construction to finalize any remaining Stage One work and complete Stage Two (Route P to Far West Drive) and Stage Three (Far West Drive to Kingston) will begin in the spring of 2024.
Phillips Hardy, Inc. will remain the contractor on this project. MoDOT will continue to work with the contractor to move the project towards completion. Since the contractor did not meet the contracted completion date of Dec. 1, 2023, liquidated damages will be assessed in accordance with the contract requirements until the project is complete.
