(KAIR)--The resurfacing of U.S. Highway 59, south of Saint Joseph, Missouri, in Buchanan County, is continuing, with intersection work planned for Saturday.

According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, that work will begin at 6:00 in the morning, meaning single-lane closures.

A news release issued by MoDot says drivers should use extreme caution when traveling in the area as crews and equipment will be working near drivers.

Just over 13 miles of resurfacing is being conducted on the highway, from Route 752 in Saint Joseph to just north of Route 45.

Crews are milling off the old surface and then laying down new asphalt through the workzone.

Herzog Contracting Corporation is the contractor for the project.

Normal work hours are during daylight, Monday through Saturday, with some Sunday work possible.

All work is estimated to be complete in early November if weather allows.
