A resurfacing project on Atchison County U.S. Route 136 was scheduled to begin Monday, August 22. Phillips Hardy, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), will resurface and improve shoulders on U.S. Route 136 from the Missouri River to Interstate 29.

During the beginning stages of the project, traffic impacts will be minimal. Crews will be clearing, grubbing, and doing earthwork during daylight hours five days per week with occasional Saturday work, as needed to remain on schedule. All work is weather permitting, and schedules are subject to change. If a lane closure is needed throughout any portion of the project, temporary traffic signals will be used to guide motorists through the work zone.

Later this fall, base widening of the roadway will begin. Crews will work on earthwork and base widening through mid-December, then resume the work in mid-March. The final asphalt overlay is scheduled for the first of October 2023. All work is expected to be complete by the end of November 2023.
