Southwest District – Drivers can expect one-lane traffic and occasional traffic delays when a project to resurface four state routes in Henry, Johnson & Bates counties starts the week of May 11, the Missouri Department of Transportation said. Drivers can expect pilot cars and flaggers directing them through the work zones. Drivers on side roads should wait for pilot cars before entering areas where resurfacing is being done. Crews and equipment will be working close to traffic and drivers are urged to use caution while traveling through the work zones. All routes will receive a new asphalt driving surface and new pavement striping.
