MOUND CITY, Mo. – A resurfacing project in Holt County,  Missouri, set to begin Wednesday, has been delayed. 

Contractor crews from Herzog Contracting Corporation, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, now plan to begin milling Route 111 from Route W in Corning to Spur 111 in Craig on Friday, September, 29, weather permitting.

The contractor will begin milling the transitions and overlaying around the railroad right of way in Corning. Once the milling and railroad right of way overlay is complete, they will begin paving at the Tarkio River Bridge and proceed north to Route W in Corning. The contractor will pave half the road at a time on this portion, reducing the roadway to one lane in sections. A pilot car and flagger will direct traffic around the northern paving. This part of the project should take two days to complete.

Once the north section is complete, they will begin again at the Tarkio River Bridge, closing the roadway in two-mile increments as they proceed south to Spur 111 in Craig. This portion of the project should also take two days to complete, weather permitting.

Crews plan to work during daylight hours Monday through Saturday. Traffic control will be in place alerting motorists of the work. All work is weather permitting and could be rescheduled.
