HANNIBAL - Weather permitting, Tuesday, November 3, 2009 from 12 to 3 p.m., MoDOT crews will close Route K in Lewis County, approximately 3.5 miles north of LaBelle for culvert replacement. Motorists must use alternate routes during this time.

The project is weather dependent and could be rescheduled. After the culverts have been replaced, some settling will occur.  MoDOT crews will monitor the area and continue to fill the roadway with surfacing material until the settling stops.
