A swath of roadwork projects are set to unfurl across the region, starting June 2 and stretching through various completion dates—some as far out as 2027. According to the latest info from MoDOT, planned activities range from resurfacing and bridge construction to pedestrian facility upgrades, and there will be impacts on several major thorougways such as Interstate 70 and Route 63. Motorists should expect delays, detours, and orange cones along their usual routes.
In Boone County, those driving along Missouri Route 740 (Stadium Boulevard) can expect roadside work through mid-June. Over in Callaway County, Route A will be subject to pavement repairs early in the month. Lane closures and flagging operations are planned, which could slow down your daily drive. Resurfacing work on Routes V, U, E, PP, and others will involve flaggers and pilot cars guiding traffic through single-lane sections, as detailed by MoDOT.
US Route 63 is headlining in Boone County with interchange improvements and bridge construction, both of which are parts of the larger "Improve I-70" project, expected to continue through next year. Speaking of I-70, it's not spared from the construction zeitgeist either, as new pavement work stretches between Route B and US Route 63, aiming for a 2027 completion date.

A look over in Camden County reveals that Business Route 54, also known as Osage Beach Parkway, is earmarked for pedestrian facility updates, wrapping up in June of this year. Meanwhile, travelers in Miller County should watch for culvert replacement work, which may slow down their usual trips through the area. US Route 50's pavement resurfacing is another hefty slog ongoing until May 2026, it's spanning from west of Linn to east of Rosebud, in Gasconade and Osage Counties.
Traffic disruptions continue in Phelps County, where ongoing I-44 resurfacing is expected to cause weekly lane closures and slow-moving traffic. As per usual, MoDOT implores drivers to heighten their alertness and adhere to all posted signs and signals. For the detail-oriented, the closure of Madison Street's on-ramp to westbound US Route 54 in Cole County marks one of several similar shutdowns as bridge rehab works occupy the scheduled through October.
