HANNIBAL - Weather permitting, a resurfacing project located on 8.5 miles of Missouri Route 202, from the Iowa State line to U.S. Route 63 near Lancaster in Schuyler County, is expected to begin the week of September 3.

The $14M contract was awarded last year to Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc. of Columbia, Missouri. The contract includes an additional resurfacing project located on 24 miles of U.S. Route 63 in Schuyler County, from the Iowa state line to 0.6 mile north of Bus. 63 near Kirksville, which is nearly complete. All work scheduled to be completed by November 1, 2024.

Motorists can expect delays as traffic will be reduced to one lane with a 12-foot width restriction in place where crews are actively working. Flaggers and a pilot car will be used to direct traffic through the work zone. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change. Signs and message boards will be in place to alert motorists, as schedule changes occur.
