First, the Missouri Department Of Transportation (MODOT) is working close to Alton, on P Highway.

Now MODOT has moved into town paving Vine Street.<\/p>\n<h2>Where Is The Paving?<\/h2>\n<p>MODOT is resurfacing Vine Street in Alton. Beginning at Market Street and paving up to School Street. In common terms, Paving goes from The Community Worship Center to the entrance to the schools.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8051\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8051\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8051 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/newlyPavedRoad.jpg\" alt=\"Newly Paved road\" width=\"1000\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/newlyPavedRoad.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/newlyPavedRoad-230x120.jpg 230w, https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/newlyPavedRoad-710x368.jpg 710w, https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/newlyPavedRoad-640x333.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/newlyPavedRoad-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8051\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Newly Paved road<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This paving closed off Vine going into the Community Worship Center, in front of Clary&#8217;s Funeral Home, Alton United Methodist Church, and Alton Assembly of God church.
