Work set to begin on Route U

Weather permitting, the week of August 26, work is set to begin on a slide repair project located in Warren County on Route U, between Rodgers Drive and Lake Ridge Lane, approximately 1.25 miles north of Missouri Route 94. The contract was awarded to Karrenbrock Construction, Inc. in the amount of $1,485,763. All work is scheduled to be completed by November 6, 2024. The route was initially closed on May 9 due to roadway damage caused by shifting and unstable soil resulting from excessive rainfall. Route U will remain closed until the project is complete. The preferred detour around the closure is to use Missouri Route 94 to Missouri Route 47.
