Resurfacing Work Scheduled in Schuyler and Scotland Counties

HANNIBAL – Weather permitting, as early as May 18, resurfacing work is scheduled on approximately 41 miles of various routes in Schuyler and Scotland counties. Work will begin on 22.5 miles of Route D, from Route U at Lancaster in Schuyler Co. to MO 15 near Memphis in Scotland County.

Once complete, resurfacing operations will move to the following locations in Schuyler County:

Route V, from Route D to U.S. Route 136 in Downing (7.6 miles)
Route U, from U.S. Route 136 in Lancaster to U.S. Route 63 (6.4 miles)
Route J, from U.S. Route 63 near Greentop to Quail Avenue (6.25 miles)
Traffic will be reduced to one lane with a 10-foot width restriction at the location where crews are actively working. Flaggers and a pilot car will be utilized for traffic control to guide traffic through the work zone. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.

The $3.9M contract was awarded last year to W. L. Miller Company of Hamilton, Illinois. All work is anticipated to be completed by late Summer.

The resurfacing projects are included as part of the Governor's Rural Routes Program. The program, created with Gov. Mike Kehoe's signing of the fiscal year 2026 state budget, allocated $20 million of General Revenue funds to the Missouri Department of Transportation to improve low-volume rural roads across the state. More information on the Governor’s Rural Routes Program, including detailed project information, is available at www.modot.org/governors-rural-routes-program.

Work with us in the work zone. For the safety of the crews and the traveling public, drivers are reminded to be attentive in work zones and put down your cell phones to eliminate distractions.

‼️Missouri Department of Public Safety NEWS RELEASE:

Department of Public Safety’s move of automated crime victim notification system in-house will reduce operational costs, allowing more funding for victim services

Update of Missouri Automated Victim Notification System (MOVANS) will require some users to update their registrations by May 4 to continue receiving notifications

JEFFERSON CITY – The Department of Public Safety is preparing to deploy a major update to the Missouri Automated Victim Notification System (MOVANS) on May 5, 2026. MOVANS is a tool that enables registered crime victims and concerned citizens to automatically receive information related to upcoming court events, changes to the custody status of offenders and other key events in their cases. All registrations must be updated to select SMS Text or Email by May 4, 2026, to continue receiving notifications. Phone and VINELink App notifications will no longer be available.

The changeover from the third-party provider DPS has been utilizing for MOVANS will significantly reduce operational costs. Savings from the changeover will directly benefit Missouri’s Crime Victims’ Compensation Fund, which provides assistance to individual victims and their families who meet eligibility requirements of the Department of Public Safety Crime Victims’ Compensation Program, the Child Physical Abuse and Sexual Assault Forensics programs and the Missouri Highway Patrol Crime Lab.

Going forward, the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Criminal Justice Information Services will manage data and information sharing services previously provided by the third-party vendor’s platform, VINELink. The change is expected to reduce the cost of notifying victims about changes in their cases from over $110,000 a month to under $15,000 a month.

With this launch, the Missouri Department of Corrections will be able to leverage the system’s new case management component to provide advanced internal case management and tracking capabilities. The process to update an existing registration or request a new registration for an offender in the custody of DOC will not change.

The MobilePatrol Public Safety App and the Missouri Sheriff Connect App are not affiliated with the Missouri Department of Public Safety or MOVANS. Individuals seeking notifications through these resources should direct inquiries to those service providers.

Public Meeting to be Held for U.S. Route 63 Conceptual Study in Adair and Schuyler Counties

HANNIBAL – The public is invited to an informational meeting to learn about the conceptual study of U.S. Route 63 corridor improvements in Schuyler and Adair counties, located between the Iowa state line and 2.1 miles north of Route KK, south of Kirksville. For the convenience of the public, two public meetings are planned in Adair and Schuyler counties at the following locations:

Tuesday, May 12, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Adair County Annex Building, located at 300 N. Franklin Street, Kirksville, MO 63501
Wednesday, May 13, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Schuyler R-1 Elementary School, located at 21701 Hwy. 63, Queen City, MO 63561
Details about the study will be shared at the meetings through displays and discussions with Missouri Department of Transportation engineers and representatives from consultant firms Hg Consult Inc. and Bartlett & West. The meeting will be conducted in an open-house format with no formal presentation. Attendees may arrive at any time between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.

“The study will review the 33-mile section of the corridor to evaluate opportunities for adding passing lanes and/or shared four-lane improvements and other roadway improvements”, explained Missouri Department of Transportation Project Manager Zach Walker.

The study is partially funded through a federal grant as part of a Community Project Funding Request. Details are available on Congressman Sam Graves’ website at
https://graves.house.gov/services/community-project-funding-requests as well as in the project funding certification letter: https://graves.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/graves.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/us-63-community-project-funding-certification-letter.pdf.

The study is anticipated to be complete by Fall of 2026. At that time, it will provide an approximate cost estimate for construction of future improvements. A timeline for implementation will not be determined, as there is no current funding for the construction of improvements.

For those unable to attend the meeting in person, please visit the project website at https://www.modot.org/projects/us-route-63-conceptual-study-adair-and-schuyler-counties to view project information and submit comments online from May 12, 2026, through May 25, 2026. All meeting materials will be posted on the project web page following the in-person meetings.

“We encourage anyone interested in receiving project updates to sign up here: Customer Service Signon (mo.gov),” Walker added.

People with disabilities who require special services or other reasonable accommodations at the public meeting should notify Northeast District Communications at [email protected] no later than May 5, 2026.
