Road crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation will reduce Route P in Bollinger and Wayne counties to one lane today and Thursday as they seal pavement. The road will be reduced from one lane between Highway 51 in Bollinger County and Route E in Wayne County. Road work will take place on the 16-mile stretch of Route P from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. Signs will mark the work zone for motorists.
Work to replace a damaged bridge on Route W is expected to get underway today. Spring floods damaged a section of Route W between Oran and Perkins, forcing the closing of the bridge since March. MoDOT officials said the bridge replacement is expected to be finished by the end of August. The section of the road will remain closed until the project is complete. The $233,423 contract on the project was awarded to A.E. Simpson Construction of Scott City.
