HANNIBAL – Weather permitting, a resurfacing project located on Route C in Clark County, from Missouri Route 81 to Missouri Route 27, is expected to begin as early as the week of April 22.
The $7M contract was awarded last year to W. L. Miller Company of Hamilton, Illinois and includes several additional resurfacing projects scheduled to be completed by November 1, 2024:
- Lewis County, Route N - From Missouri Route 6 to end of state maintenance
- Lewis County, Route P - From U.S. Route 61 in Canton to Route C.
- Lewis County, U.S. Route 61 Outer Road - From Business Route 61 to end of state maintenance in Canton
- Knox/Lewis County, Route K - From Missouri Route 15 in Baring to Missouri Route 6 in La Belle
Traffic will be reduced to one lane with a 10-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.
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.
