Preventative maintenance treatments planned for routes in Cole and Osage counties…

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo - Preventative maintenance treatments are planned for Osage County Route T and Cole County Route E beginning on Wednesday, Sept. 17. Construction crews from Vance Brothers, LLC, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, plan to apply a seal coat to each route. Flaggers and a pilot car will direct motorists through the work zone.

Crews will begin first on Route T, from U.S. Route 63 to the Maries County line (11.138 miles). The contractor expects Route T to be completed in 2 to 3 days. They will then move to Route E from U.S. Route 54 to Route B (5.675 miles). The project could extend into the week of Sept. 22.

All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change.

Seal coating is a preventive maintenance treatment which rejuvenates the road surface and helps extend the life of the roadway by filling and sealing cracks in the existing asphalt with an emulsified asphalt/aggregate seal. MoDOT does its best to be good stewards of the monies entrusted to us by taxpayers. One of the ways is to employ preventative maintenance methods, such as this.
