One-Lane Traffic for Pavement
Sealing
On Route 5 Between Hartville and Lebanon
MoDOT, District 8, Springfield --
Drivers can expect one-lane traffic for two weeks on Route 5 between
Hartville and Lebanon beginning the week after Labor Day, the
Missouri Department of Transportation said.
A project to seal the road using rock
and oil is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, September 6, at Wright
County Route V south of Hartville.
Here's a look at the schedule:
* September 6 through September 13
or 14 -- Route 5 will be sealed between Wright County Route V
south of Hartville and Wright County Routes M/H at Grovespring.
This part of the operation, moving
to the north, could take six to seven working days to complete.
A short section of Route 5 in the city limits of Hartville will
NOT be sealed.
* September 13 or 14 through September
20 or 21-- Route 5 will be sealed between Laclede County Route
C south of Lebanon and progress south to Wright County Routes
M/H at Grovespring. This portion of the sealing project is expected
to take five working days to complete.
Lane closings will be 6 a.m. to 6
p.m. each day.
Flaggers will direct traffic. Expect
to slow down and stop for a few minutes approaching the project.
A "pilot" pickup truck will
lead vehicles through the work zone.
Rain or equipment problems could change
the work schedule and delay the completion of the project.
Crews will close a 1-mile-to-1-1/2-mile
section of one lane, then switch to the other lane to even out
the work. Then the "chip-seal" operation will be moved
to the next section.
Electronic message boards and orange
signs will alert drivers to the road work.
