Holt County Pavement Improvement Project Resuming

A pavement improvement and flood remediation project on Holt County U.S. Route 159 will resume Monday, February 27.

The Missouri Department of Transportation has contracted with Phillips Hardy, Inc., to complete the project.

Crews began the project in May 2022 before pausing due to winter weather.

Crews are installing erosion control from the Missouri River near Rulo, Nebraska, to the Little Tarkio Creek near Fortescue as a flood remediation measure.

During construction, temporary traffic signals will be in place to guide motorists through the one-lane work zone, starting east of Del Rio Road and going west in approximately one-mile sections.

All work should finish in November.

This project also includes pavement improvements from Missouri Route 111, one mile west of Route 118 to Route 118.

That should begin in July.

All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
