Drivers can expect nighttime lane closings on Business Loop 44 (Mount Vernon Boulevard) in Mount Vernon starting the week of August 5, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
The roadway will be resurfaced between the I-44/Lawrence County Route H interchange on the west and I-44/Route 39/Route 265 interchange on the east through the city of Mount Vernon.
Drivers can expect lane closings with crews and equipment on the roadway during the work. Crews will work 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. Monday through Thursday and possibly Friday, if needed to keep the project on schedule.
There will be bright lights illuminating work areas and there could be increased noise where crews are set up working.
Here’s a look at the project:
-Grind off the top layer of asphalt on Business Loop 44
-Lay a new top layer of new asphalt on the road
Weather and/or construction delays will alter the work schedule.
Blevins Asphalt Construction Company of Mount Vernon is doing the work for a low bid amount of $820,000.
The project must be completed by early November 1, 2019. However, the contractor expects the project to be completed sooner than that, barring any weather or construction delays.
