Republic: Street and Business
Approaches
To Be Paved During Week of October 25
MoDOT, District 8, Springfield --
Drivers should be alert for slowdowns along U.S. 60/Route 413
in Republic during the week of October 25 when paving crews are
scheduled to work at city street approaches and business entrances,
the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Contractor crews plan to pave the
approaches to the highway during daytime hours.
This work may require half a business
entrance to be blocked and one-lane traffic at city street approaches.
Drivers on U.S. 60/Route 413 should
be prepared for vehicles slowing down on the highway and turning
slowly into driveways and side streets.
Other work planned during the week,
although weather may cause delays or changes:
* Concrete to be poured for new islands
at the Hines and Elm street intersections with U.S. 60/Route 413.
Traffic will be moved away from where the work is taking place.
* Paving on U.S. 60/Route 413. Traffic
will be shifted away from where crews are set up.
* Installing street lights, building
concrete sidewalks and laying sod along U.S. 60/Route 413. This
work at various locations along U.S. 60/Route 413 will take place
AWAY from traffic.
No night work is planned for the week.
Week of November 1
Crews are scheduled to continue paving U.S. 60/Route 413. Once
the paving is complete, new pavement stripes will be painted on
the highway.
During the paving and striping work,
traffic will be shifted away from where crews are set up.
Other work planned will take place
AWAY from traffic. Sidewalks will be built and street lights installed.
Rain will cause delays in the project.
