ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – A project to resurface portions of U.S. Route 71 is scheduled to begin Tuesday, April 2. Herzog Contracting Corp., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, will resurface portions of the north and southbound lanes of Route 71 from the intersection of Business 71 near Maryville to the intersection of Route T near Savannah.
During this time, the speed limit through the work zone will be lowered to 55 miles per hour, and the roadway will be narrowed to one lane.
All work is expected to take place Monday through Saturday during daylight hours. A 16-foot width restriction will be in place daily. The project is scheduled to be completed by September.
All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change. Know before you go by visiting the MoDOT Traveler Information Map for work zone information and road conditions at http://traveler.modot.org/map/, or downloading from your smart phone’s app store.
