Road work along Route A in Jefferson County in its final stages

(Jefferson County) Road construction along Route A in Festus and old Highway 21 in Hillsboro is starting to wind down.

Road crews have been working on the project since early August and MoDOT Engineer Stephen O’Connor says the finishing touches will be added in the coming week.

When the project is completed Route A will have new pavement and several new left and right turn lanes along the stretch of highway.

Weather pending, road work is expected to be wrapped up by the end of the month.
