Improvements coming to Route 128 in Crowder State Park

August 19, 2020

The roadway into Crowder State Park will get a new surface soon. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 18 and 19, crews from Vance Brothers, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation will scrub seal Route 128, north of Route 146, in Crowder State Park.
During the scrub seal operation, 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.
All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change. Please remember that all work zones are NO PHONE zones. Buckle up. Phone down. Arrive Alive. Motorist are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones.
