Road work to begin

A project to resurface Missouri Route 5 in Putnam County is scheduled to begin Monday, June 3. Norris Asphalt Paving Co., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, will resurface Route 5 from the Iowa state line to U.S. Route 136 in Unionville. Route 5 will be narrowed to one lane with a pilot car directing motorists through the work zone. All work is expected to take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours. A 12-foot width restriction will be in place daily. The project is scheduled to be complete by mid-July. All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
