HANNIBAL – Weather permitting, resurfacing projects are set to begin as early as September 29, in the Kirksville area in Adair County. Contractor crews will start on Route H, from LaHarpe Street in Kirksville to Missouri Route 11. Once complete, crews will move to Route P to work in the following locations:
- Route P - from 0.3 mile east of U.S. Route 63 to Bass Way near Kirksville
- Route P - from Business Route 63/Baltimore Street to U.S. Route 63 in Kirksville
When crews are actively working on the urban portion of Route P between Business Route 63/Baltimore Steet and U.S. Route 63, motorists will encounter significant delays, and are encouraged to avoid the area. Updates for this work will be issued as the work progresses on the other routes.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane with a 10-foot width restriction in place 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. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
The $807,191 contract was awarded to W. L. Miller Company of Hamilton, Illinois. All work is anticipated to be completed by November 1, 2026.
