Nodaway County U.S. Route 71 to be resurfaced near White Cloud Bottom…

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - A project to resurface portions of U.S. Route 71 moved to its next section today, Tuesday, July 2. Herzog Contracting Corp., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, began resurfacing the northbound lanes from Nodaway County Route B south of Bolckow to Route M (White Cloud Bottom). Due to the holiday, work will stop on Wednesday, July 3, resume on Monday, July 8.

Once this section is complete, the contractor will continue to complete the remaining four sections of U.S. Route 71 north and southbound between the intersection of Business 71 near Maryville to the intersection of Route T near Savannah. The project is scheduled to be completed by September.

During the project, the speed limit through the work zone will be lowered to 55 miles per hour, and the roadway will be narrowed to one lane.

All work is expected to take place Monday through Saturday during daylight hours. A 16-foot width restriction will be in place daily.

Once this portion of the project is complete, the contractor is scheduled to begin resurfacing in Andrew County on the northbound lanes of Business Route 71 from Interstate 29 to just south of Route 71and southbound lane from just south of Route 71 to the southern Savannah city limits. More information will be made available on this project once dates and times are determined.
