(From MODOT)

MoDOT TRAFFIC ALERT: Pavement Sealing Work on Missouri Route 76 South of Stella September 6 & 7

Where: Missouri Route 76 between McDonald County Route E and Route U south of Stella

When: 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. Wednesday & Thursday, September 6 & 7

What: Contractor crews will seal the existing driving surface as part of a Pavement Sealing Project along various routes in the Southwest District. 

A seal coat is not an alternative to an asphalt overlay, but is being used as an economical way to maintain and preserve the roadway. The treatments keep a road from deteriorating and will extend its life.
