A project to add sidewalks along a portion of South Sam Houston Blvd. in Houston will begin July 17, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.
The site includes southbound U.S. 63 from First Street to just north of Holder Drive and West Highway 17 from U.S. 63 to Dooley Street. Maggi Construction of Rolla won the $386,182 bid. The City of Houston will pay about 20 percent of the outlay under a MoDOT program.
MoDOT said Maggi Construction will work with residents and business owners as they construct new sidewalk and approaches across entrances.
Weather permiting, work will continue 6 a.m. until 5 p.m. through Nov. 27, including weekends if necessary.
MoDOT said periodic lane closures will occur, and the work zone will be marked with signs.
