HANNIBAL – Weather permitting, a resurfacing project located on Route BB in Audrain and Montgomery counties, from U.S. Route 54 to Missouri Route 161, is expected to begin as early as March 29.
The $4.7M contract, awarded last year to Magruder Paving, LLC of Troy, Missouri, includes several additional resurfacing projects scheduled to be completed by November 1, 2024:
- Pike County, Route Y – From Business Route 61 in Bowling Green to the end of state maintenance (Complete)
- Montgomery County, Route A – From Missouri Route 19 to Missouri Route 161 (In Progress)
- Audrain/Montgomery County, Route AA – From Route BB to Missouri Route 19 in Wellsville (Mid-April start)
These resurfacing projects are included as part of Gov. Parson’s Rural Road program. With the Governor’s signing of the Fiscal Year 2024 budget, an additional $100 million in General Revenue was made available for Missouri’s low volume rural roads. Using asset management data, the Missouri Department of Transportation identified 1,567 lane miles of low volume roads ranked in poor condition. These locations will receive resurfacing treatments of hot mix asphalt to improve the road conditions. The roads have been bundled into several large contracts across the state.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane with a 9-foot width restriction at the location where crews are actively working. Flaggers and a pilot car will be utilized for traffic control to guide traffic through the work zone. Workers will be present during daylight hours. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.
Work with us in the work zone. For the safety of the crews and the traveling public, drivers are reminded to be attentive in work zones and put down your cell phones to eliminate distractions.
