Commuters in Franklin County will need to brace themselves for delays, as the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has announced a major lane closure on Route 100. Starting Monday, one eastbound lane will be shut down starting at 8 a.m. at the bridge over Missouri Eastern Railroad, as noted on MoDOT's website.
The lane closure is part of a bridge construction project that will limit the maximum width on the bridge to 15 feet. Drivers who regularly traverse this route, may want to plan for additional travel time or seek alternate paths. MoDOT has indicated that the work is slated to continue through mid-November, signaling a four-month stretch where reduced lanes could impact traffic flow.
For those concerned about the project's potential to disrupt daily commutes and the flow of local business, MoDOT has assured the public that maintaining accessible lanes for travel is a priority during this period of renovation. They aim to keep the traffic moving as smoothly as possible given the circumstances.
MoDOT encourages drivers to stay informed about the latest traffic updates and road conditions. They advise checking their website regularly for the most current information regarding the Route 100 bridge work.
