Scott City paving project impacts traffic

Resurfacing work on Scott City's Main Street is scheduled to begin Monday at 5 p.m. The street will be resurfaced from the Interstate 55 interchange to Route N on the city's eastern end.

Crews will work daily from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. on the project and traffic will be reduced to one lane through parts of the work area. According to the Missouri Department of Transportation the project should take about one week to complete as long as the weather cooperates.
