(KLZA)-- A pavement improvement and flood remediation project on Holt County, Missouri, U.S. Route 159 is expected to resume Monday, Feb. 27.

The Missouri Department of Transportation has contracted with Phillips Hardy, Inc., to complete the project. Crews began the project in May 2022 before pausing due to winter weather.

As a flood remediation measure, erosion control is being installed from the Missouri River near Rulo, to the Little Tarkio Creek near Fortescue. During construction, temporary traffic signals will be in place to guide motorists through the one-lane work zone, starting east of Del Rio Road going west in approximately 1-mile sections. All work is expected to be completed in November 2023.

This project also includes pavement improvements from Missouri Route 111 one mile west of Route 118 to Route 118 which is planned to begin in July.

All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
