MoDOT, District 8, Springfield -- A contractor has been hired and contractor crews plan to begin work immediately to repair flood-damaged Route 413 south of Galena, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
The work will begin today (Friday, May 13) and is expected to be completed by Thursday, May 26.
The damaged 250-foot long section of road lies between Shoals Lane and Wilson Creek Road about two miles south of Galena.
Heavy rains during the week of April 25 saturated the ground underneath a portion of Route 413 and caused the east side of the road to crack and drop 3 inches to 5 inches.
Contractor crews will remove the rain-saturated soil that gave way and replace it with rock. Crews will then lay new asphalt and restripe the pavement.
That stretch of Route 413, which also carries Route 248 and Route 265 traffic, will remain closed until the repairs can be made.
Drivers can use other nearby state highways to get around the closing, including Route 176 and Route 13.
The school district, emergency responders and the post office have been notified of the road closing and are using other routes to serve the area.
Emery Sapp and Sons of Columbia will do the work for a low bid amount of $108,937.
