HANNIBAL – Weather permitting, as early as August 17, contractor crews will start work on a sidewalk (ADA) improvement project in Adair County. Initially, work will start on Route O in Novinger from Oakland Avenue to Corrigan Street. Upon completion, two additional locations will be completed in the following order:
- Missouri Route 149 from Tenth Street to Second Street in Novinger
- Business U.S. 63 - from East Illinois Street to East Patterson Street in Kirksville
Throughout the project, motorists can expect the following traffic impacts at various locations:
- Temporary closures of pedestrian facilities
- Intermittent lane closures with a 10-foot width restriction at the location where crews are actively working
- Short-term temporary road closures as necessary
The $755,185 contract was awarded to TB Dozing & Excavation, LLC. This project is scheduled to be completed by November 2026.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane with a 10-foot width restriction at the location where crews are actively working. Flaggers will be utilized for traffic control to guide traffic through the work zone. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
This work is being completed as part of MoDOT’s initiative for compliance with the current standards of the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA). We ask that motorists please be attentive in work zones for their safety and the safety of highway workers.
