TARKIO, Mo. – Surface improvements, added shoulders, and repaired culverts this spring and summer will make for a smoother ride along U.S. Route 136 in Atchison County, Missouri. 

Contractors from Herzog Contracting Corp., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, will begin Monday, April 3, by repairing culverts east of Tarkio. The repairs will necessitate single-lane closures in short sections between one-half mile east of Route O and one-half mile east of Route M. Flaggers will guide motorists around the lane closures. Repairs to the culverts should be completed on or before May 1, 2017, weather permitting.

The asphalt overlay and shoulder improvement portions of the project are planned for mid-July through the end of August.

Schedules are subject to change.
