MoDOT: Urgent repairs required on Route 54 near Holts Summit
HOLTS SUMMIT, Mo. (KMIZ)
A MoDOT Central District tweet is saying urgent repairs will begin at 6:30 Thursday night on eastbound Route 54 lanes near Summit Drive.
MoDOT officials say the repairs are caused by pavement “blow-ups”.
A pavement blow-up occurs when the roadway surface expands at a crack or joint where moisture has seeped in. The crack weakens the pavement and the heat causes the pavement to buckle and warp.
Officials say it is best to get these fixed as quickly as possible for the safety of motorists.
Officials say the work will close one lane at a time.
MoDOT cautions drivers to use caution and give workers room to work tonight.
