Resurfacing Resumption Planned Next Week For Area Counties

The Missouri Department of Transportation has announced the resumption of the resurfacing project for several routes in Gentry, Nodaway, Holt, and Atchison counties will begin next week.

6 of the planned 11 routes were completed by the contractor in the fall. Resurfacing of the five remaining routes will begin with Holt County Route T followed by County Route M in Gentry and Nodaway counties. Beginning Monday, March 6, Holt County Route T will be closed daily in segments up to 2 miles in length through Monday, March 13. Travelers will need to seek an alternative route during the intermittent closures.

Crews then plan to move to Route M in Gentry and Nodaway counties beginning March 13 through March 31. Traffic will be narrowed to one lane daily with flaggers directing travelers through the work zone. There will be a 10-foot width restriction.

The remaining three routes of Holt County Route DD, Nodaway County Route PP and Atchison County Route EE are expected to begin later this spring. All five routes are anticipated to be completed in July.

The work is weather permitting.
