Route N in Iron and St. Francois Counties Reduced to One Lane for Pavement Repairs

St. Francois Co., Mo. (KFMO) - Motorists traveling on Route N in Iron and St. Francois counties will encounter lane restrictions next week as the Missouri Department of Transportation completes pavement repair work.

According to MoDOT, Route N will be reduced to one lane and will have a 12-foot width restriction between Route 21 and Route 32 in Bismarck. The temporary traffic impacts are necessary to allow crews to safely perform pavement repairs along the roadway.

MoDOT officials say the work zone will be clearly marked with signs and remind motorists to use extreme caution when approaching and traveling through the construction area.
