ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – A project to resurface U.S. Route 136 in Mercer County originally scheduled to begin Monday, June 3, has been postponed until Monday, June 17, due to weather. Norris Asphalt Paving Co., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, will resurface Route 136 from the Harrison/Mercer county line to Route C near Princeton.
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 Friday during daylight hours. A 12-foot width restriction will be in place daily. The project is scheduled to be complete 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.
