The following is a list of general highway maintenance and construction work the Missouri Department of Transportation has planned in Atchison County this week.

MoDOT will limit road construction on New Year’s Day to accommodate expected increased holiday travel. Work on most maintenance and construction projects will resume at 6:00 a.m. Thursday, January 2. Some long-term traffic impacts will remain in place.

There also may be moving operations throughout the region, in addition to the work mentioned below. Inclement weather may cause schedule changes in some of the planned work. Check the MoDOT Traveler Information Map at http://traveler.modot.org, or download the app.

MoDOT asks drivers to buckle up, put your phone down, slow down and move over in work zones.
