(KLZA)-- A resurfacing project on Holt County Route HH is scheduled to begin this week. The Missouri Department of Transportation contracted with Herzog Contracting Corp. to complete this project bundle which will improve 152.8 lane miles of rural roads in Northwest Missouri. Herzog has sub-contracted with Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc. to resurface six routes in this bundle during the 2022 construction season, including Route HH. The remaining five routes will be resurfaced by Herzog during the 2023 construction season.

Emery Sapp & Sons plan to narrow Holt County Route HH daily Wednesday, Oct. 19 through Saturday, Oct. 22. Flaggers and a pilot car will guide motorists through the work zone.

Other planned asphalt work in the area includes:

Atchison County Route CC from U.S. Route 275 to the Iowa state line: Oct. 24 – 27

• Atchison County Route KK from Route J to the end of state maintenance: Oct. 27 – 31

• Atchison County Route Z from Route W to the end of state maintenance: Oct. 31 – Nov. 5

• Holt County Route BB from U.S. Route 159 to the end of state maintenance: Nov. 5 – 8

Following the asphalt work, the contractor will place edge rock and stripe each route. During the rock and striping phases, the road will remain open, but motorists may encounter single-lane closures around the work.

The routes to be resurfaced by Herzog during the 2023 construction season include:

• Atchison County Route EE from Route 46 to the end of state maintenance

• Holt County Route T from Route 111 to Route U

• Holt/Nodaway County Route DD from Route C in Holt County to Route 113 in N

This project is part of Gov. Parson’s Rural Roads program. The state’s approved Fiscal Year 2023 budget provided an additional $100 million in General Revenue for work on Missouri’s low volume rural roads.
