JEFFERSON CITY, Mo – A resurfacing project spanning nearly 29 miles across Camden, Laclede, and Pulaski counties is set to begin next week. Construction crews working with the Missouri Department of Transportation plan to start on Thursday, July 31.
During construction, each roadway will be reduced to one lane Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with flaggers and a pilot car guiding motorists through the work zone. All work is projected to be complete by the end of October.
The current planned order of work, subject to change:
- Camden County Route E
- Laclede County Route AC
- Pulaski County Route PP
- Pulaski County Route NN
- Laclede and Camden County Route H
- Laclede County Route JJ
The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission awarded a $3,320,296.41 contract to Willard Asphalt Paving, Inc. for the project at their November 2024 meeting. These resurfacing projects are included as part of Gov. Parson’s Rural Road program. In 2024, the Governor signed the Fiscal Year 2025 budget including an additional $100 million to continue low-volume road improvements. This funding will be used to improve conditions on 1,985 lane miles of rural roads at 149 locations, including the ones listed above.
