MoDOT plans July 19 public meeting on Highway 34 work

MARBLE HILL, Mo. -- The Missouri Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting regarding improvements to Highway 34 from County Road 500 to the Marble Hill airport in Bollinger County. The meeting will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. July 19 in the Woodland Elementary School gym in Marble Hill. The meeting will have an open-house format, meaning visitors can stop by to talk one-on-one with a member of the project team anytime between 4 and 6 p.m. No formal presentation will be given. "This is the second public meeting to be held," said project manager Eric Krapf. "In addition to discussing grading, paving, realigning curves and replacing the bridge over Gimlet Creek, the project team will discuss the possibility of raising the elevation of Route 34 at Woodland School to help minimize flooding."
