ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is administering a US DOT Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) grant for the construction of transportation improvements around the Roy Blunt Reservoir project. Contractors from Capital Paving and Construction, LLC., reopened the Route N and Y intersection today, Friday, Nov. 15.
During the closure, crews were able to reconfigure the intersection and connect to Mayapple Road.
Construction of three new bridges on Mid-Lake Road is ongoing and expected to be complete in spring 2025. One new bridge on Mayapple Road has been completed.

The Roy Blunt Reservoir Project (formerly known as the East Locust Creek Reservoir Project) is a cooperative effort between Sullivan County, North Central Missouri Regional Water Commission (NCMRWC) and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The BUILD grant project, while separate, is dependent on the schedule and timeline of the reservoir project.
