The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has announced that a pilot car operation will be in effect on Route C, stretching from Missouri Highway 92 to the Clinton County line, as crews carry out pavement resurfacing.

The project, originally planned for May 5, will now begin on Thursday, May 7, and is expected to continue daily through the end of May, with work hours from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Drivers traveling through the area should anticipate possible delays and are urged to slow down and pay close attention in the work zone. MoDOT reminds motorists that work zones can vary in appearance and may include temporary lane closures for quick repairs or debris removal. All work is dependent on favorable weather conditions.
