Route H & Route P resurfacing — start date announced
Contractor crews are expected to begin as early as Sept. 29 on Route H, from LaHarpe Street to Missouri Route 11 in Kirksville. Once that phase wraps up, crews will move to two sections of Route P: from 0.3 miles east of U.S. 63 to Bass Way, and from Business Route 63/Baltimore Street to U.S. 63. MoDOT is advising drivers to expect significant delays, with traffic reduced to one lane and a 10-foot width restriction while crews are actively working; flaggers and a pilot car will guide traffic through the work zone.
