(News release) –  Resurfacing projects are set to begin this week on Route Z in DeKalb County and Route E in Andrew County.

Contractors from Herzog Contracting Corporation, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, plan to begin resurfacing DeKalb County Route Z on Thursday, June 8. At approximately 7 a.m., they will close northernmost two miles of the road to all traffic. They will progress south in two-mile sections to U.S. Route 169.

After Route Z is complete, they will move their resurfacing operation to Andrew County Route E between Route D and U.S. Route 169. They will close one lane of Route E at approximately 7 a.m. on Friday, June 9 and Saturday, June 10. A pilot car will guide motorists through the work zone.
