Resurfacing Project to Begin on U.S. Route 63 in Schuyler and Adair Cou…

HANNIBAL - Weather permitting, as early as May 20, motorists in Schuyler and Adair Counties will begin to see a lot of activity on 24 miles of U.S. Route 63 as crews begin resurfacing from the Iowa state line to 0.6 mile north of Bus. 63 near Kirksville.

Motorists can expect delays as traffic will be reduced to one lane with a 12-foot width restriction in place where crews are actively working. Flaggers and a pilot car will be used to direct traffic through the work zone. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change. Signs and message boards will be in place to alert motorists, as schedule changes occur.

The $14,091,853 contract was awarded last year to Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc. of Columbia, Missouri. The contract includes an additional resurfacing project located on Missouri Route 202 in Schuyler County, from the Iowa State line to U.S. Route 63 near Lancaster. This project is anticipated to begin later this summer. All work scheduled to be completed by November 1, 2024.
