U.S. Route 54 is a busy corridor in Jefferson City and several improvements are planned to enhance safety, ease congestion, and prolong the life expectancy of roads and bridges in the area.
In 2024, construction is scheduled to begin on five projects ranging from bridge rehabilitation to adding an additional lane of travel.
ONGOING CONSTRUCTION WORK
All lanes on U.S. Route 54 will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., though reduced speeds and width restrictions are in place.
Shoulder work on U.S. Route 54
- Crews widening eastbound U.S. Route 54 are working on the left shoulder. This work will take place behind the temporary barrier, for the safety of the crews and the traveling public.
Shoulder work on Missouri Route 94
- Shoulder work on Route 94 from the U.S. Route 54 interchange to Wehmeyer Drive. This work may involve daytime lane closures Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a flagger directing motorists through the work zone.
