Holt County U.S. Route 159 to Close Next Week

A pavement improvement project will close Holt County U.S. Route 159 for three days next week.

The Missouri Department of Transportation has contracted with Phillips Hardy, Inc. to complete the project, which will close the roadway from Monday, August 29 through Wednesday, August 31.

U.S. Route 159 will close from Route 111 near Forest City to the Little Tarkio Creek Bridge west of Route P.

The intersection at Route P south of Fortescue will be closed with no access from Route P to U.S. Route 159.

The intersection at Route 111 north of Forest City will remain open.

During the closure, motorists must use an alternate route.

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