Atchison County U.S. Route 59 north of Tarkio now open

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - Atchison County U.S. Route 59 from Route AA to U.S. Route 136 in Tarkio is open after emergency water line repairs.

Crews will return next week to pour concrete and flaggers will guide motorists through the work zone.

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

MoDOT asks drivers to work with us by always buckling up, keeping your phone down, slowing down and moving over in work zones. Know before you go and check what work zones you might encounter at traveler.modot.org.
