MoDOT: Asphalt planned for Highway O next month

Posted

Missouri Department of Transportation crews continue to focus on the poor condition of Highway O in Warren County by filling in areas of the road with rock to make it more solid and stable, and this work will continue through the month of May, MoDOT said in a recent press release.

Next month, asphalt will be laid on top of the rock repairs from Stracks Church Road north to Highway M, and from Spring Valley Road south to Highway 47. 

“At this time, the rock repairs and adding some asphalt will provide more stability to the area of repairs,” said MoDOT Area Engineer Erik Maninga.  He cautioned, however, that the asphalt road repairs will be rough since there are trucks still hauling material on this route.  

After the asphalt repairs are completed, maintenance crews will go back between Stracks Church Road and Spring Valley Road, in the middle section of Highway O, and dig out the poor locations to place rock in those locations to make it solid and stable.

The speed limit remains 35 mph, and signs indicating rough road ahead and road work ahead are prevalent throughout the area.  Motorists are asked to please slow down and use caution on this road.
