JEFFERSON CITY – The first phase of a pavement improvement project at the intersection of Dix Road and Business Route 50 (Missouri Boulevard) in Jefferson City will start on Saturday, May 19 with pavement removal and replacement at the intersection.
Work will start at 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 19 and will be completed by 6 a.m. on Tuesday, May 22. This work will result in lane closures and will restrict select traffic movements at the Business Route 50 (Missouri Boulevard)/Dix Road intersection.
During the work, the following closures and traffic restrictions will be in effect:
- Business Route 50 (Missouri Boulevard) traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction.
- Eastbound Business Route 50 (Missouri Boulevard) traffic will not be able to turn left onto northbound Dix Road.
- Westbound Business Route 50 (Missouri Boulevard) traffic will not be able to turn left onto southbound Dix Road.
- Dix Road traffic will be restricted to right turns only at the Business Route 50 (Missouri Boulevard) intersection.
Motorists will still be able to make right turns from eastbound Business Route 50 onto southbound Dix Road and from westbound Business Route 50 onto northbound Dix Road.
The second phase of the work begins on Tuesday, May 22 and includes nighttime resurfacing on Business Route 50 (Missouri Boulevard) between Dix Road and Southwest Boulevard. During the resurfacing work, motorists will encounter nightly lane closures from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. on Business Route 50 (Missouri Blvd.) between Dix Road and Southwest Boulevard. Resurfacing work is scheduled to be completed by June 8.
The pavement improvement project was needed to repair sinking pavement caused by a water main break last fall. The work will stabilize the area and eliminate a dip in the road.
All work related to the project is weather permitting.
