Scrub seal on Route 6 through Aug. 10

Crews working on the series of scrub seals projects moving across Northwest Missouri are completing the scrub seal on Route 13 in Caldwell and Daviess counties, between Route 6 and the Ray County line. Vance Brothers, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, plan to start the scrub seal on Route 13 in Daviess and Harrison counties between U.S. Route 69 at Bethany and Route 6 near Gallatin on Thursday, July 30. They anticipate they will be working on that section of Route 13 through Aug. 10.
During these scrub seal operations, the roadway will be reduced to one lane with flaggers and a pilot car directing motorist through the work zone. Drivers will experience delays, both directions, as they must wait for a pilot car. Drivers entering from a side road onto the route being sealed must also wait for a pilot car.
A scrub seal is a preventative maintenance treatment which rejuvenates the road surface and helps extend the life of the roadway by filling and sealing cracks in the existing asphalt with an emulsified asphalt/aggregate seal. MoDOT does its best to be good stewards of the monies provided by taxpayers. One of the ways is to employ many preventative maintenance methods, such as this.
These are part of a larger project to seal roads across 13 counties in Northwest Missouri. Other planned routes are listed below in the expected order. Some routes may only take one day to complete, while others may continue for up to two weeks. All routes should be complete in early October.
