Highway 6 Resurfacing To Resume On Oct. 12

Highway 6 resurfacing is scheduled to resume on Monday, Oct. 12, weather permitting.
The work by Emery Sapp and Sons is set to be done during daytime hours on Oct. 12 and Oct. 13. The work will include resurfacing between Fourth Street and the railroad bridge on Ninth Street as well as a portion of Oklahoma Avenue and the four entrances just east of the railroad bridge. Resurfacing had been halted earlier to allow for completion of sidewalk improvements in those areas.
The Missouri Department of Transportation said parking will be limited along Highway 6, including areas around the courthouse, while the road work is being done. Crews are scheduled to begin on the west end of the section at Fourth Street, continuing east to the railroad bridge. Flaggers and a pilot car will direct drivers through the work zone and there will be a 12-foot width restriction in place. Motorists will encounter delays and may wish to seek an alternate route.
After Highway 6 is completed, crews will then move to Oklahoma Avenue, north of Highway 6, to complete resurfacing work. There will also be work done to the Highway 6 approaches for Highland Avenue as well as Avalon, Emma and Kumler streets. During the approach work, drivers will be unable to access those side streets and are asked to use an alternate route.
