MoDOT works on Route Y, announces public hearing

A section of Route Y in Bollinger County will be reduced to one lane while MoDOT crews seal the pavement. The section of roadway is from Route 34 to the end of state maintenance. Weather permitting, the work will take place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and Friday. The work zone will be marked with signs. The Missouri Department of Transportation has also scheduled an open house public hearing for anyone wanting to provide input and learn more about a bridge improvement project on Route A in Scott County. The meeting will be from 3 to 6 p.m. Aug. 8 at the St. Lawrence Parish Center, 1017 Route A in New Hamburg, Mo. MoDOT will share the plans for replacing the Caney Creek Bridge on Route A just north of New Hamburg. The road will be closed during construction. The closure is expected to last about three months with construction expected in 2009. For more information, call MoDOT project manager Andy Meyer at (573) 472-5296. For more information on either project, call MoDOT at (888) 275-6636.
