Three one-year interstate repair contracts covering several mid-Missouri counties were approved by the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) during its meeting on Wednesday, May 5. One of the contracts includes one county in the KMMO listening area.

The Commission awarded a contract for concrete pavement repairs in various locations as needed on I-70 in Boone, Callaway and Cooper Counties to Lamke Trenching & Excavating, Inc., which submitted the low bid of $409,396.75.

Most of the work on the interstates will take place at night, with minimal daytime work as needed. Intermittent lane closures will be required during work hours.

The other projects are on I-44 between the Dallas County/Laclede County line to the Crawford County/Franklin County line and Crawford, Laclede, Phelps and Pulaski Counties.

The duration of each of the three project contracts is from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022.
