A MoDOT truck driver suffered serious injuries after the truck traveled off Route E and overturned near Silex. The crash temporarily closed the roadway as emergency crews responded.

Lincoln County road crews are advancing paving, drainage and maintenance projects while continuing cleanup following weekend storms that brought down trees across the county.

A strong crowd gathered in Hawk Point as MoDOT outlined construction phases, safety improvements, road closures and traffic impacts for the $18.8 million Route 47 project between Hawk Point and Troy.

The Lincoln County Fair, Route 47 widening plans and government meetings in Troy, Elsberry and Moscow Mills are among five things residents may want to follow this week.

Hawk Point aldermen discussed utility credits, pool billing changes, a local food pantry searching for a new home and an upcoming public meeting on the Route 47 widening project.
