OAK GROVE – The Missouri Department of Transportation continues work on the diverging diamond project in Oak Grove at I-70 and Route F/H. Crews will CLOSE Route F from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 7 to pour a new bridge deck. Ramps to and from I-70 will remain open but motorists will NOT be able to cross Route F at this interchange. Review traffic impacts at traveler.modot.org and click on the camera at mile marker 81.5. All work is weather dependent.
Converting the traditional diamond interchange to a diverging diamond interchange will increase left-turn capacity, improve traffic operation and reduce the number of crashes on Route F. In addition to the improvements to the bridge and traffic, the ramps onto I-70 will be lengthened to allow improved merging onto the interstate.
