Rural route resurfacing project to begin in Caldwell/Carroll County

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - A project to resurface low volume rural routes in Caldwell, Carroll and Clinton counties is scheduled to begin soon. Emery Sapp and Sons, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, plans to begin paving on Route KK in Caldwell/Carroll County on Tuesday, August 13.

During construction, traffic will be directed through a one-lane closure by a pilot car. A 10-foot width restriction will be in place.

Below are the other routes that will be resurfaced with this project:

• Caldwell County Route E
• Caldwell County Route N
• Caldwell County Route A
• Caldwell/Clinton County Route BB
• Caldwell County Route W
• Caldwell County Route D
• Caldwell County Route HH

Edge rock and striping will take place following the completion of paving. All work is expected to be complete by the end of September.

All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change. Keep up to date with project progress and traffic impacts by visiting the MoDOT Traveler Information Map or by reading the Planned Roadwork for Northwest Missouri, published each Friday. This weekly roadwork press release can be viewed on the MoDOT website or by signing up for email updates at MoDOT E-Updates.

These resurfacing projects are included as part of Gov. Parson's Rural Road program. With the Governor's signing of the Fiscal Year 2024 budget, an additional $100 million in General Revenue is available for Missouri's low volume rural roads. Using asset management data, the Missouri Department of Transportation has identified 1,567 lane miles of low volume roads ranked in Poor Condition. These locations will receive resurfacing treatments of hot mix asphalt to improve the road conditions. The roads are being bundled into several large contracts across the state.
