Work to begin sealing Missouri Route 39 with a mixture of rock and oil in Barry and Stone Counties is scheduled to begin the week of July 16, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Contractor crews will seal the highway between Missouri Route 248 in Barry County south to the Missouri/Arkansas state line in Stone County.
Weather and/or construction delays could alter the work schedule
Drivers can expect one-lane traffic with flaggers and pilot vehicles directing them through the work zone. Traffic could be stopped for several minutes. Delays are expected. Drivers at side roads should wait for the pilot vehicle before entering the roadway.
Drivers are urged to use caution and reduce their speed when traveling over recently-sealed sections of highways.
A chip-seal is not an alternative to an asphalt overlay, but is planned for these roads as an economical way to maintain and preserve the roadway. The treatments keep a road from deteriorating and will extend its life.
Project information:
Contractor: Blevins Asphalt Construction Co., Mt. Vernon
Total cost: $1.6 million
Completion date: September 1, 2018
