Mid-Missouri is slated for a substantial slew of road work projects, with maintenance and construction work mapped out across multiple counties from Aug 25 through Aug 31. MoDOT issued a statement highlighting that all scheduled work is contingent on cooperative weather and that changes may occur.
Residents traveling in Boone County can expect disruptions with pavement repairs on Route NN and shoulder work on Route Z, scheduled to take place Aug. 25-28. Notably, despite Route TT pedestrian facility upgrades leading to temporary closures, crews will ensure at least one lane remains open. Travelers should prepare for potential flagging operations through these zones. Furthermore, U.S. Route 63 will see ongoing interchange improvements at Route AC (Grindstone Parkway), imposing narrowed lanes and a width restriction.
For Callaway County commuters, be aware that South Outer Road 70 (Jade Road) will undergo daily closures from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. beginning Aug. 26, mandating the use of alternate routes. Routine pavement repairs on Route T are also on the docket, anticipating single-lane openness with accompanying flaggers.
Over in Camden County, ongoing pavement resurfacing on Route H and Route JJ beckons a similar setup—lanes will stay active yet constricted, with pilot cars and flaggers shepherding the traffic flow. Delays are expected, so buffer your travel time accordingly. The thrust of these efforts, as stated by MoDOT, aligns with the broader scope of the Improve I-70 program, aiming to renew the mainstays of this crucial infrastructure artery.
In addition to road surface enhancements, Cole County will see bridge rehabilitation affect U.S. Route 54 traffic with narrowed lanes and speed reductions. Projects over Moreau River Drainage and Missouri Boulevard are looking to conclude by October, under the watch of narrowed lanes and associated ramp closures.
