The remaining work to be done during daylight hours. (Scheduled to begin mid-August with the tentative completion date of early October.)

“Traffic will be reduced to one lane during the day at the location where crews are actively working for the duration of the project,” explained Missouri Department of Transportation Area Engineer Jeff Kroner. “For the safety of the crews and the traveling public, we would like to remind drivers to be attentive in work zones and put down your cell phones to eliminate distractions,” he added.
Flaggers and a pilot car will direct motorists through the work zone. A 10-foot width restriction will be in place for the duration of the project. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change. Signs and message boards will be in place to alert motorists, as schedule changes occur.
