Starting Wednesday night, a nightly lane closure will be implemented on the eastbound lane of U.S. 54 near the Missouri River Bridge in Jefferson City for the installation of a new overhead sign, as announced by the Missouri Department of Transportation.
The closures, scheduled between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., will require MoDOT contractors to close the eastbound U.S. 54 left lane, extending from the Missouri River Bridge to north of Route W, commonly known as Airport Road and Cedar City Road.
According to MoDOT, the closure will remain in effect on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Monday.
MoDOT contractors are also working around the clock to complete pavement work and additional construction projects on Route W at the interchange with U.S. 54. This includes the installation of shoulders, guardrails, and signage, all aimed at facilitating the opening of the interchange and ramp.
The ongoing construction efforts are directed toward opening the interchange, ramp, and the newly designated lane for southbound U.S. 63 onto the Missouri River Bridge.
