Route D set to close

Weather permitting, March 26, Route D in Ralls County is scheduled to close from Missouri Route 19 to Route B south of Perry for a bridge painting project, located over Lick Creek, 1.2 miles west of Missouri Route 19. All work on this bridge is expected to be completed by early April. On April 1, crews will then move to begin painting on the bridge on Pike County Route D/FF over U.S. 61 near Eolia. Traffic impacts at the interchange will include temporary shoulder closures on Route D and U.S. Route 61 (northbound and southbound) will be reduced to one lane with an 11-foot width restriction until the project is complete.
