Pavement Sealing To Begin Next Week In Stone County
July 4, 2019
State routes in 10 southwest Missouri counties, including Stone, are scheduled to be sealed with a mixture of rock and oil beginning the week of July 8, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Projects in our area include: Missouri Route 248 from Barstone Drive east to Missouri Route 173 (5.5 miles); Missouri Route 173 from Route FF south to Missouri Route 76 (9 miles) and Missouri Route 176 from Missouri Route 248 east to the Stone/Christian county line (9 miles).
Additionally, in Christian County, Missouri Route 176 east to U.S. Route 65 in Taney County (7.5 miles).
Drivers also can expect flaggers and pilot cars directing them through the work zone. Drivers should wait for the pilot vehicle before proceeding through the work zone or before entering the work zone from a side road.
Signs and message boards will alert drivers ato the work zone.
Weather and/or scheduling delays will alter the work schedule.
A chip-seal is not an alternative to an asphalt overlay, but is planned for these roads as an economical way to maintain and preserve the roadway. The treatments keep a road from deteriorating and will extend its life.
This project was awarded to Hutchens Construction, of Cassville, for a cost of $2.5 million.
All 10 projects are expected to be complete by November 1.
