Weekend bridge work to impact I-70 traffic near Columbia

Posted

Ongoing rehabilitation of the Perche Creek bridges along Interstate 70 in Boone County will impact eastbound traffic this weekend.

 Contractors working for the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) will close one eastbound lane of the bridge, located west of Columbia, on Friday, September 24 at 8 p.m. The lane will remain closed through Tuesday, September 28. The lane will also be limited to eleven feet wide with a concrete barrier in place during the closure.

 In addition, the eastbound entrance ramp from U.S. Route 40 at Midway I-70 will be closed during this time. Motorists wishing to travel eastbound on I-70 from Midway will be detoured to the Routes J/O exit to the west.  

 MoDOT says significant delays and backups are likely, and they are advising motorists to find alternate routes whenever possible.

This work is part of an ongoing project to rehabilitate both bridges, including both the substructure and the bridge deck. The deck work is currently underway and will be completed first.
