JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A resurfacing project spanning 55 miles across various routes in Maries and Pulaski counties is set to begin next week. The first route to receive a new surface is Missouri Route 133 in Pulaski County. The resurfacing on all routes will occur during daylight hours, Monday through Friday. One lane will remain open with flaggers and pilot vehicles directing motorists through the work zones.
On May 18, construction crews from Willard Asphalt Paving, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, plan to start resurfacing Route 133 at the junction with Missouri Route 17, south of Crocker. Crews will work south to the junction with Pulaski County Route AB, south of Interstate 44.
After Route 133 is complete, likely in early June, crews plan to move to Missouri Route 28, beginning at the junction of U.S. Route 63 and working south to Pulaski County Route Z. Other routes to be resurfaced, in an order yet to be determined, include South Outer Road 44 from Route 17 to the end of state maintenance, Pulaski County Route P, and Pulaski County Route AA.
As part of this project, crews began installing guardrail across multiple routes in late April.
Motorists should exercise caution, eliminate distractions, and slow down through the single-lane work zones.
All work is weather permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
