Description:
The old highway south of Hannibal from Monkey Run to saverton was the major route south until it was replced by Hwy 79. Since that time it was hard to maintain for motorized traffic and was closed. I remains in use by locals for recreation. This project would repair eroded sections and re-open it as a recreation path. It would connect the villiage of Saverton and Monkey Run to downtown Hannibal.
