Mid-Missouri motorists, brace yourselves for the wave of construction that's pegged to roll out from November 3 through 9. The comprehensive list of highway maintenance and construction work—which is, of course, subject to the temper of the weather—may lead to several lane closures and potential delays across various counties, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.
Highlighted in an update published by MoDOT, ongoing projects like Route TT's pedestrian facility upgrades in Columbia are expected to see intermittent nighttime single-lane closures, while the roundabout construction at Route K and Old Plank Road intersection is ongoing, urging drivers to anticipate delays as traffic gets funneled through narrowed lanes.
In Boone County, Route HH pavement repairs are set to keep traffic to one lane, flagged by crews, from Monday to Friday. Likewise, for the folks frequenting U.S. Route 63, intersection improvements at Route AC (Grindstone Parkway) will reroute you, with Lenoir Street closed off for the time being. But the end is in sight: the road work here is due for completion in November.
Travel disruptions in Callaway County shouldn't be a surprise with one-lane restrictions and flagging in place for South Outer Road 70 pavement repairs on Tuesday and Wednesday. And I-70 improvements continue to spill over into the commute experience, as the Improve I-70 Program steamrollers ahead, now with its eyes set on a 2027 completion. Camden County's not untouched; U.S. Route 54 will see a shift in its normal traffic pattern come Monday, as pavement widening gets underway, as mentioned also in MoDOT.
