Weather permitting, a resurfacing project located on Route EE in Ralls County, from Route J to Missouri Route 19, is expected to begin as early as this week, according to a news release from the Missouri Department ofTransportation’s Northeast District.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane with a 10-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.
The $7.8 million contract, awarded last year to Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc. of Columbia, Missouri, includes several additional resurfacing projects scheduled to be completed by Nov. 1:
Audrain County, Route CC - from Route C to Missouri Route 15 near Rowena (complete)
Audrain County, Route JJ - from U.S. Route 54 to the end of state maintenance near Mexico (complete)
Audrain/Monroe County, Route C - from U.S. Route 24 in Monroe County to Missouri Route 151 near Centralia at the Boone County line (in progress)
Monroe County, Route M - from Missouri Route 151 to Missouri Route 15 (complete)
Monroe County, Route U - from U.S. Route 24 to the end of state maintenance at Florida (complete)
Randolph County, Route O - from Route C to the end of state maintenance (complete)
Randolph County, Route U - from Missouri Route 3 to the end of state maintenance (complete)
The resurfacing projects are included as part of the Governor's Rural Road program. With the Governor’s signing of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget, an additional $100 million in general revenue is available for Missouri’s low volume rural roads. Using asset management data, the Missouri Department of Transportation has identified 1,985 lane miles of low volume roads to receive treatments to improve road conditions. The roads are being bundled into 19 contracts across the state.

MoDOT officials ask motorists to work with crews 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 their cell phones to eliminate distractions.
